The main objective of this reflective article is to explain why it is crucial to apply logical-mathematical learning methods to facilitate students’ understanding of complex subjects. The basic skills acquired in elementary school form the foundation for improving competencies related to abstract thinking. Therefore, we can expect children to use multiple techniques to build a deep understanding of both the exact sciences and other subjects. This paper offers some fundamental recommendations on how to help students improve their mathematical abilities using numerical operations, games, tools, and challenges. Furthermore, a vital aspect of successful learning is ensuring children’s engagement. For many of them, expressing their opinions on relevant issues is part of the nature of logic. Finally, the right combination of traditional and modern models can enable teachers to create dynamic lessons. Thus, thanks to these approaches, it is possible to raise students’ level of logical-mathematical skills and help them master various techniques for solving math problems.
