Educational software as resources for improving mathematics teaching in primary schools

The introduction of modern technologies into the teaching process has led to significant changes in the entire education system. Innovation in teaching is one of the key tasks of the educational system, which leads to the improvement of the teaching process. The goal is to make teaching interesting and creative, following the needs and abilities of students. Today's education system focuses on students. The teacher is the bearer of new tasks and challenges as a researcher with a creative approach using information and communication technologies (ICT). The introduction of educational programs as a resource in the teaching process leads to an increase in society's interest in scientific and technical literacy, in the wide application of scientific achievements, and in training those who will further develop and improve these achievements. The use of educational programs for the preparation and delivery of mathematics lessons contributes to bringing students closer to certain concepts, teaching units, and areas in a clearer way, increasing their curiosity and desire for further learning and research. Today, there are various interactive programs for developing students' logic that help them to understand various contents more easily and more fully, especially mathematical ones. Some programs have proven to be very effective in working with children with developmental disabilities. As part of this paper, research was conducted on the attitudes and opinions of Mathematics and/or IT teachers regarding the application of educational software for the preparation and delivery of mathematics lessons. Based on the obtained results, it was determined whether teachers are ready to innovate their work by applying educational software. that is, whether they are ready for the reform processes that are current in our country. The subject of the research is a socially current topic in the daily development of ICT and represents one of the important trends today.
