THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING THE STEREOMETRY COURSE FOR DEVELOPING STUDENTS’ SPATIAL THINKING

Abstract

This article examines the methodological possibilities of using digital technologies in teaching the stereometry course in upper secondary school. Teaching stereometry requires students to develop spatial thinking, the ability to imagine geometric models, and skills for analyzing them. In traditional teaching methods, spatial figures are usually explained through planar drawings, which makes it difficult for students to fully imagine three-dimensional objects. One of the effective ways to solve this problem is the use of digital technologies.

The article analyzes the role of digital tools such as GeoGebra 3D in teaching stereometry and their possibilities for spatial modeling and visualization. In addition, it is shown that the use of digital technologies contributes to the development of students’ spatial thinking, the formation of research skills, and a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.
