The paper shares the experience of interacting with Mathematics teachers and 5th�6th grade schoolchildren in order to obtain and demonstrate new learning outcomes in mastering Mathematics by means of such a non-conventional technique, as Mathematics Tournament. Recommendations are provided on how to organize and hold a regional mathematical tournament for 5th � 6th grade general school pupils. Preliminary analysis of mathematical tournament pilot approbation in the Krasnoyarsk Krai is done. Educational organizations can use tournament results to improve methods of mathematics teaching, while various municipal and regional executive authorities responsible for public administration in the educational sphere can find tournament results useful for evaluation of current situation in municipal and regional educational systems and initiation of programs of their further development.

The background of this research is the lack of students' mathematics learning outcomes. Thelow yield caused by the learning of mathematics teaching is so very boring, monotonous,stressful and meaningless. Departing from the problems that occur in the field, especially ingrade IV SDN 002 Bagan Besar then there needs to be a strategy that can provide learningmathematics is expected to show active learning, creative, effective and fun. This research istindaan class (PTK), instrument collecting data observation and test learning outcomes. Theresults obtained: Increased activity of the students from the first cycle to the second cycle arevery significant. The increase in active learning, creative, and fun efekif the students alsofollowed by an increase in student learning outcomes. This is evidenced by the increase in thelearning outcomes of the first cycle to the second cycle. Namely, from the average value of 88,27 (cycle I) increased to an average value of 97, 59 (cycle II).

As a result of the analysis of domestic and foreign standards of key competencies, basic and complete secondary education, teachers’ training (in particular, mathematics teachers’ training) and information technology specialists training, the system of informatics competencies of a mathematics teacher, developed by Yu. S. Ramskyi, was updated in terms of the structure, content and indicators of competencies formation. It has been found out that the formation of the informatics competencies of a mathematics teacher begins with basic informatics competencies, the further development of which occurs primarily in the competencies in system administration, web technologies, programming and systems analysis.

The quality of teaching and teacher plays a significant role in enhancing students’ cognitive and motivational development. The purpose of this study was to identify longitudinal trajectories of student perceptions of mathematics teachers’ professional competence, and to examine how these trajectories were related to students’ engagement and achievement in mathematics and their choice of college major. The data used for analysis were obtained from the Seoul Education Longitudinal Study, a study of 2714 secondary students who were followed up for five successive years. Results showed four heterogeneous trajectories of students’ perceptions of teacher competence, and these trajectories were associated with students’ engagement and achievement in mathematics. In addition, those who consistently perceived their mathematics teachers to be highly competent and whose perceptions of their teachers’ competence became more positive over time were more likely than other students to choose math-intensive majors. These findings imply longitudinal links between mathematics teachers’ professional competence as perceived by their students and students’ choice of college major as well as their engagement and achievement in mathematics.

AbstractThe aspiration of this paper is to develop a novel approach towards investigating the socio-political history of mathematics teaching in educational systems. Traditionally, historical studies are confined to just one country, the author’s country. Broader approaches address international developments by confronting and comparing global and local aspects—revealing general patterns and more specific ‘local’ structures and characteristics. Yet, already in antiquity and medieval times, the specific characteristic of mathematics teaching, namely to operate at the crossroads of general education and vocational training, proved to be intimately tied to the functioning of the particular political system. In pre-modern times, however, a truly international pattern emerged for the first time: European powers conquered, occupied and colonised overseas regions. Given that educational systems were emerging at the same time within these states, they often transmitted elements of these structures to their colonies. This phenomenon included mathematics, and the history of its teaching is analysed here as a part of coloniality. It is shown that this was not a uniform process, and the differences between the various colonial powers are discussed. The involvement of mathematics in the process of decolonisation is addressed, as well as its role in the tension between continued coloniality and movements of decoloniality. Finally, the general framework provided for studying socio-political processes connected with establishing mathematics teaching within public educational systems is applied, in order to analyse recent coloniality practices effected by international achievement studies.

This abbreviated literature review features studies regarding elementary mathematics instruction and the mathematics teachers that act in ways that lend to and further cultural responsiveness. Teachers presented in the review utilized a pedagogical style referred to as responsive teaching (Empson, 2014) and studies were re-read and analyzed with a lens of cultural responsiveness, specifically that of culturally responsive teaching (CRT). The analysis exposed common practices across this vein of mathematics teaching that uphold the tenets of cultural responsiveness. The value that this form of instruction holds for young learners is also presented.

This study has developed a digital mathematics handbook that helps students to strengthen their mathematical skills at the elementary level of education. A survey of mathematics teachers collected data. In developing an integration manual on technology based on a survey of the state of technological integration in schools, it employed a research and development (RD) approach. A number of 24 teachers participated in the material creation. The multimedia materials produced during the trial were developed and used. Participants consisted of primary learning children. Results have shown that the trainers' preferred theory is undergraduate, and most of them have a poor capacity to integrate creativity into a research analysis. In the presentation of the under-graduates in mathematics the material produced was extremely good.

The article considers the issue of state security in the context of the objective attention of public administration. Based on the semantics of the concepts of "state" and "security", elaboration of a set of approaches to the interpretation of these definitions, analysis of options for different authors in favor of certain approaches to the interpretation of the concept of "state security" formed and motivated the author's vision of this term such a state of protection of various vector interests of the state and its simple cluster unit - the citizen - which ensures the effective functioning of all spheres, industries, institutional sectors (including their units), mechanisms in general and the implementation of the functions and powers of the state institution in particular for their further development in a changing environment, external and internal threats. The proposed in some way unification approach allows emphasizing the content of the concept, as a logically related set of relevant objects, in the context of the prevailing philosophical nature of the phenomenon of "security", leaving open the "scope" of the concept for further more detailed detailing of its characteristics in the segment. theoretical foundations of the science of public administration in the field of public security concerning its elemental components. This approach provides a focus on the most general object-subject features of the concept while avoiding minor characteristics. Keywords: state, society, public administration, national security, state security, threats.
