FIELD: computer systems; computer-aided education. SUBSTANCE: means is training device having semitransparent plotting board having a window on its face side in the upper left non-transparent part and rectangular recess in the right transparent part taking the place from the upper part of the plotting board to the lower window border, and a set of inserts. A set of inserts is prepared for each topic under study, each insert being a sheet divided in the center with lines drawn in correspondence with window size. It contains fixed elements depending on education stage. The elements are used in doing the given exercises being the steps of an algorithm determining the order of operations in the succession of standard mathematical operations and decision search algorithms determining the operation order in searching solution of these or other problems fixed on the inserts on the left side so that every item is highlighted in the window separately. The exercises and examples for finishing off the algorithms and/or acquiring skills for applying them are fixed on the right or left side. Method involves using the means for teaching algebra and fundamentals of analysis and carrying out training. EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of education process. 4 cl, 2 dwg
