IMPLEMENTING THE DICE-STONE TECHNIQUE IN TEACHING THE PRINCIPAL CLASSES OF INORGANIC COMPOUNDS

Abstract

The article describes the effective use of the “Dice-Stone Method” in teaching chemistry, specifically the main classes of inorganic compounds (oxides and salts). Using this interactive technique, students practice constructing formulas of compounds formed by interactions between metals and non-metals, naming them, and reinforcing the concept of valence through hands-on exercises. The primary goal of the method is to develop students’ ability to logically understand and analyze chemical processes. The paper details organizational aspects, practical examples, extended scenarios, and the didactic advantages of the approach.
