Format 3: cognitive tests.
Cognitive tests were developed to measure the mental development of students participating in the project. Each of the 6 questions in the tests was taken as an indicator of the level of development of cognitive skills. The questions were based on the mechanisms of thinking processes in J. Piaget's theory of cognition [10]. The evaluation criteria were the key words of B. Bloom's cognitive taxonomy. Tests were conducted on PC and pilot HEC, control HEC and CC involved in the project.

Content and explanation of cognitive tests.
1. Measuring the scope of knowledge given in the program with an open-ended question - (associative thinking; synthesis). Each correct answer is worth 2 points. Out-of-program answers are evaluated by 3 points.
2. Division of the set into elements: classification, analytical thinking. Each correct distribution is worth 3 points.
3. Continue the sequence of data (substitution operation, creative thinking). For each change (“+”); (“-“) 2 points; return (“x” “:”) is given 4 points. Mixed ("+" "-" "x" ":") variables are given 6 points.
4. Solve (multiplicative operation; ability to find similarities). 2 points are given for each correct solution and 4 points for each solution that goes beyond the program.
5. Correction of geometric figures from the given (creative thinking). Each figure is given 4 points.
6. Continue the story (creative thinking). Interesting plot - 6 points; author's voice - 4 points; thought-provoking point - 6 points; 40–50 words - 4 points; 60–80 and more words are given 6 points. No mistakes - 5 points; 2–4 errors –4 points; 5–6 errors 3 points;
7 mistakes are given 2 points.
The test was evaluated on a 100-point scale. Students who score 51 or more have high thinking skills. Students who score below 50 and below have low thinking skills.


8. Test results:

1. Pilot class - PC Out of 29 students, 7 scored less than 51 points and 22 more than 50 points. 75% of students showed a high level of cognition.

2. Pilot HE class - PHEC Out of 28 students, 8 scored less than 51 points and 20 scored more than 50 points. 71% of students showed a high level of cognition.
3. Control HE class - 15 out of 22 students of CHEC scored less than 51 points, 7 - more than 50 points. 31.8% of students showed a high level of cognition.
4. Control class - CC Out of 22 students, 16 scored less than 51 points and 6 more than 50 points. 27.7% of students showed a high level of cognition. (Scheme 8.)
