Abstract
The article is devoted to the theoretical substantiation and experimental verification of the methods of forming the thinking of senior preschool age by means of logic-mathematical games.
The analysis of the researched problem is carried out, the essence of concepts “thinking”, “formation of thinking of children of senior preschool age” is found out, their features are revealed. Thinking of the child of preschool age is interpreted as indirect and generalized reflection of reality phenomena, natural connections and relations between them.
