Abstract
The article considers the issues of organizing the process of teaching mathematics for the purpose of environmental education of students, which is a component of the personal results specified in the Federal educational programs of basic and secondary general education. Mathematics, being one of the main subjects in the school curriculum, is focused on the development of logical thinking, computational skills and other intellectual abilities of students, and the integration of environmental aspects into the learning process will contribute to the formation of a responsible attitude towards nature. The purpose of the work is to analyze the content of the concept of «environmental education» and highlight the techniques of teaching mathematics, the direction of achieving personal results. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it substantiates the need to use a set of special techniques in the process of teaching mathematics, including solving contextual problems / cases with an environmental plot; compiling assignments by students based on reference and information material on the state of the environment; conducting practical work in mathematics aimed at caring for nature; conducting integrated environmental lessons; implementing interdisciplinary projects on individual environmental issues; holding extracurricular activities in mathematics, containing tasks of an ecological nature; holding socially significant events with mathematical justification of their results, which will contribute to the ecological education of students due to the possibilities of the academic subject. The article provides examples of the implementation of these techniques in the process of teaching mathematics. The results obtained can be used in the practice of mathematics teachers.
