Role of algebra and number theory in the professional competence formation of future mathematics teachers

Abstract

This article describes the functions of algebra and number theory in the professional training of bachelors of pedagogical education in the specialty 5B010900 — «Mathematics». Algebra and number theory play an important role in the preparation of the future mathematics teacher, and above all, in its subject matters. Currently, particularly high demands are placed on the preparation of the future mathematics teacher. The success of student learning depends on how high-quality and comprehensive it will be. The main purpose of mastering this discipline is to improve the skills of working with numerical units; preparing for the deliberate use of the fundamentals of number theory, for example, such as the theory of divisibility, comparison theory, etc. The objectives of this subject can be attributed to the arming of students with theoretical knowledge, and the application of this knowledge in solving practical problems, and the formation of ideas about methods of mathematics as a universal language of science and technology. The discipline «Algebra and number theory» should also impart to students the skills of working with mathematical units, mathematical rigor of thinking, which is very necessary for work in the field of mathematics and other exact and natural sciences, and which they, as teachers, will develop among schoolchildren.
