Abstract
The complex concept of “the humanitarian potential of mathematics” needs to update the educational environment of elementary schools and universities, as well as the relationship of participants in the educational process. The humanization of natural sciences requires the development of new elective courses, cognitive tasks, various dialogues and search activities of participants in the learning process. In the context of mathematics, this phenomenon has many meanings. The main direction in this research is the paradigm of personality-oriented education aimed at the development of general cultural components and the formation of students’ values-based attitude to the surrounding world. While considering the humanitarian potential of mathematics, it is important to take into account its aesthetic, historical, linguistic, activity-based and applied components. The authors of the article dwell on the linguistic component of humanitarian mathematics. They describe a new teaching method improving the speech of a mathematics teacher of elementary school. In addition, the authors consider the possibilities of using the digital educational platform Yandex.Textbook as a source of modern didactic materials and various representations of mathematical knowledge. By using the content of Yandex.Textbook in extracurricular activities and elective courses in mathematics, it is possible to develop the creative imagination of students and expand their cultural horizons. Despite a large number of mathematics textbooks for elementary school, there is a need to create an educational complex based on the humanization of mathematics education. The same task is solved by the developers of teaching aids and elective courses for students, i.e. future mathematics teachers.
