Description When forming mathematical concepts as well as during regular mathematics teaching, the problem of understanding is one of the crucial ones : understanding in the sense of basic communication as well as in the sense of mathematic al communication and understanding the subject matter in the whole range of mathematical expressions. It has been shown that in practice, ninety per cent of children’s problems in mathematics are caused by problems in communication between the child and the surrounding world. The ability to communicate can be innate or learned. It is the task of the teacher to find out about the sp ecifics of communication of each child and to use them for the teaching of mathematics in the best po ssible way.
