The article discusses the theoretical foundations of the use of combinatorial problems in the mathematical development of primary school students. The authors note the features of the mathematical development of younger schoolchildren and reveal the essence of the concept of “combinatorial problems”. The article reflects the specifics of working with combinatorial problems in a primary school mathematics course, and also presents and analyzes the results of research work to identify the level of mathematical development of third-grade students. The authors proposed a set of problems using combinatorics elements for primary schoolchildren in the aspect of mathematical development.
