THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF TEACHING ECONOMIC KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO STUDENTS IN GRADES 5–6

Abstract

This article analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of teaching economic knowledge and skills to students in grades 5 - 6. The author justifies the need for the formation of economic literacy from an early age in modern society. The article describes ways to organize economic education based on person-oriented, activity-based and integrative approaches. Also, methodological recommendations are given for instilling economic concepts in children through practical exercises, role-playing games, project work and digital tools. These knowledge and skills play an important role in the formation of critical thinking, planning, responsibility and financial culture in students.
