The Phenomenon of the Additional Function of the Pedagogical Means as a Factor of Integrity of the Branched Mathematical Course
In the article some results of the phenomenon of the additional function of the pedagogical means are considered: multifunctionality of the exercise, an ability of multifactorness, bifunctional sums. In this case the pedagogical means is understood as a set of components of the pedagogical process influencing the educational result. In its turn the phenomenon of the additional function of the pedagogical means is, besides its main function for realization of which it was projected, that it obviously has another additional function even if it wasn't initially planned. The question is highlighted with the purpose of implying to the discipline of the professional cycle "Mathematics" of the main educational programme on “the Primary education” profile. Features of this discipline are duration of study and different types of studied parts making a negative effect on understanding of the course in whole by students. To solve this problem it is offered to transform purposefully a material of sums with the purpose it can have additional functions. As an example the system of bifunctional tasks developed by the authors is presented in the article on the subject "Divisibility of Natural Numbers" their additional function is a review of the studied material and its consideration in a new context. The authors believe that the offered approach will promote understanding of the course of Mathematics as a complete and steady in time system of knowledge, and will increase quality of mathematical training of future elementary school teachers.
