This article includes tasks in various areas of functional literacy (reading literacy, mathematical literacy, natural science literacy, global competencies and creative thinking). All materials are united by a common theme: "Photosynthesis". The tasks are designed for students of grades 5–7, taking into account the age characteristics of children. The work is aimed at developing the indi-vidual's abilities to formulate, apply and interpret knowledge in a variety of contexts. The illustra-tions used in the work are taken from open sources on the Internet.

The proposed case of tasks is formed taking into account the age group of students (5–7 grade) and is aimed at checking the level of formation of functional literacy of students. Of course, tasks designed to assess functional literacy differ in a number of characteristics. First of all, students are offered tasks set outside the subject area, but it is assumed that they are solved with the help of subject knowledge, as well as the student's life experience. Tasks differ in their formulations: they are always problematic in nature, assume a possible multiplicity of solutions and are presented in simple, "non-academic", understandable language. At the same time, the "trick" is that in order to solve the task, the student needs to independently find the angle of the solution – to "translate" the task from an ordinary language into the language of the subject area (mathematics, geography, biology, physics, etc.). Naturally, a significant part of problematic situations are contextually close to situations from everyday life. Subsequently, the task completion diagnostics allows each student to see their individual development trajectory, evaluate their results, adjust their approach to studying subjects, and form their own skills.

The article provides examples of tasks aimed at the formation and development of functional literacy of students, namely reading, natural science, mathematics, global competencies and creativity.

This article is a scenario of an event aimed at the development of functional literacy of students. The work is intended for students of grades 6-7. The tasks are compiled taking into account the age characteristics of students and in accordance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard.

The article offers tasks on functional literacy on the topic "Secrets of the Monrepos Park". Local history is one of the most important components in the development of citizenship and patriotism among students, so the choice of our topic is not accidental. One of the pearls and tourist centers of the city of Vyborg, located on the territory of South Karelia, is the Monrepos Park. It attracts tourists with unsolved riddles and beautiful views. Our tasks encourage students of grades 6-7 not only in the city of Vyborg, but also in other districts of the Leningrad region to plunge into the unique atmosphere of travel and riddles, but also to have a pleasant and informative time in a friendly team.
