Summary/Abstract: During the period of pre-school and Primary school education, 3 – 11-year-old children acquire basic mathematical knowledge. The problem of activating and stimulating students` cognitive interest, their inclusion in productive practical activities, and development in the direction of unity of their concrete-figurative and abstract-logical thinking are essential for the educational process. One aspect of its resolution is the application of the modeling method in the methodology work in mathematics. This is why the development of professional competences and competencies related to its adequate use in teaching mathematical content is so important for future kindergarten and primary teachers. The research was longitudinal, and throughout its implementation, it was the functional-technological model for theoretical and practical student training. The article presents some theoretical concepts on which the lecture course was built. The results of the empirical study proved that students develop conceptual knowledge and skills regarding the Modelling method which facilitates the effective methodology work for understandably teaching the mathematical terminology.
