Abstract:
One of the specific competencies of the Mathematics discipline in the primary classes provide the application of arithmetic operations and their properties in various contexts, showing attention and interest for correct, rational, fluent calculation. Thus, the formation of computational skills contributes to the formation of specific mathematical skills in the primary classes, because man operates throughout life with the mental computing skill. The teaching-learning calculation procedures must be done on three dimensions, particularly to follow the understanding of the calculation procedure; to develop the cognitive psychic processes and to allow the application of the skills formed in daily life (at the supermarket, in construction/repair, etc.). The teaching-learning calculation procedures are the basic elements of the primary mathematics course, and the efficiency of this process ensures the success of mastering mathematics in primary classes. Mathematical dictation is a method frequently applied in initial and formative assessment, as it can provide relevant information about the skills trained in students. This assessment is based on a system of exercises and problems designed in accordance with the learning units provided in the curriculum. It is one of the methods of achieving feedback between teacher and students in maths lessons and it is specific to primary classes.
