The article examines the relevant issue of fostering algorithmic thinking in eighth-grade students during mathematics instruction. It substantiates the choice of the topic "Quadratic Equations" as an effective didactic foundation for the formation and development of algorithmic thinking. The components of algorithmic thinking – analytical, constructive, executive, and reflective – are identified and described. The methodological stages aimed at successfully developing algorithmic thinking while studying the topic of "Quadratic Equations" are examined in detail. Examples of tasks, categorized by the level of algorithmic thinking development, are presented for use in the educational process.
