Abstract

The article considers the logic of ideal actions on the example of the formation of the action of addition in children. The appearance of a symbol in a child when adding numbers shows that preschool children can "feel" a contradiction in their own actions and independently find an adequate way to resolve them. This fact testifies to the deeply dialectical essence of children's thinking.
