Ways to solve search problems in elementary school

The article presents a study of ways to solve search problems by students in grades 2-4. The technique "Game of Five" is described, intended for a group survey, in which 48 second-graders, 46 third-graders, 51 fourth-graders participated. It was shown that from the second grade to the fourth, the number of students who are able to solve search problems in a visual-figurative form in a general way increases, and the number of students who can solve such problems in a private way decreases.
