Abstract

Pupils learn different calculating algorithms. The effective use of learned algorithms requires creativity in their application to solve diverse tasks. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to create a concept of the calculating algorithm for pupils. The present paper describes a method of creating a zero point method. Teaching of this method is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the student masters the basic algorithm and becomes familiar with the main ideas of this method, while in the second stage a student learns how to apply this method with some modifications in other types of tasks. In our article we present the application of zero point method in solving quadratic inequalities.
