У статті проаналізовано сучасні підходи до підготовки майбутнього вчителя початкової школи до професійної діяльності, зокрема до викладання математичних дисциплін. Розглянуто підготовку майбутніх учителів до опрацювання окремих видів простих задач під час навчання учнів математики в сучасній початковій школі. Обґрунтовано значення математичних задач для учнів початкових класів. Зазначено класифікатор простих задач, окреслено конкретні види простих задач. Досліджено методичний аспект вивчення зазначених видів задач. Розглянуто конкретні приклади задач і окреслена робота з ними.Forming the professional competence of a future primary school teacher takes place in the process of studying in a higher education institution and is aimed at acquiring knowledge, skills, positive attitudes, professional experience and personality behaviour in the professional environment. According to the competence approach, the level of future teachers’ professional training is determined by the ability to solve the problems and professional tasks of different complexity on the basis of existing knowledge and experience. A modern school needs a competent primary school teacher who is able to act effectively, to solve standard and problematic tasks that arise in the educational process. Full-fledged teaching of mathematics to primary school pupils is impossible without the teacher’s mastery of teaching methods on mathematics in primary school, knowledge of methodological approaches to teaching certain topics of the course. A significant contribution to the development of the methodological foundations of the issue of teaching to solve mathematical problems was made by M. Bantova, M. Bohdanovych, Yu. Koliahin, O. Korchevska, M. Moro, O. Onopriienko, A. Pyshkalo, H. Sarantsev, S. Skvortsova and others. The methodological literature highlights various aspects of forming primary school pupils’ ability to solve simple problems. But the issue of preparing future primary school teachers to training certain types of simple problems is not given enough attention, in particular the combination of theoretical and methodological aspects. The purpose of the article is to highlight the peculiarities of preparing future primary school teachers to train certain types of simple problems during the initial course of mathematics. In the process of writing the article such research methods were used: critical analysis of the literature, comparison, generalization of practical research; systematization. Conclusions and prospects for further scientific research. Thus, preparation of a future teacher for forming primary school pupils’ ability to solve certain types of simple problems is the necessary condition for their mastering mathematical competence. It forms pupils’ ability to apply the acquired competences at the certain time in specific life situations, to find a way to solve cognitive and practical tasks, to promote forming the creative ingenuity and research. Thus, future teachers training should be aimed at improving their methodological and mathematical knowledge and skills according to the issue of training certain types of simple problems in modern primary school. The integrated approaches to teaching of simple problems in the process of preparing primary school teachers for professional activities is required further development
