ABSTRACT
The research is relevant as educational computer games are included in students’ mathematical
activity and form additional opportunities to improve the quality of teaching mathematics in a
digital school, to support the formation of the demanded professional competence -
computational thinking. To form the appropriate skills that determine the essence of special
computational thinking, the authors propose to include game educational spaces based on digital
gamification resources into students’ mathematical activities. The research aims to resolve the
contradiction between requirements of the modern economy for specialists’ high level of
computational thinking and an insufficiently developed methodological base for training
graduates that meets these requirements. The purpose of this research is to study the features of
using gamification technologies in teaching mathematics to form the skills and abilities that make
up the essence of computational thinking. The article describes directions of educational and
cognitive mathematical activity based on the principles of gamification. The authors clarify the
concept of “computational thinking”, which includes a system of actions for activating patterns,
connections between them from human memory, and compile an effective algorithm for solving
them: to obtain relevant information on advanced technological developments; to state the
problem and model; to use a software product with mathematical content.
