Distance education today has become one of the main forms of training and has spread in many countries worldwide. The rapid development of technologies, the growth of the importance of education and global informatization make distance learning one of the priorities of modern education. Issues of developing and implementing the distance learning courses into future primary school teachers’ training, which greatly improve the education quality, are relevant. The aim of this work is to highlight the main stages of designing distance learning course “Methods of teaching mathematics at primary school” developed for the future primary school teachers. The study is based on analysis of scientific studies of the national and foreign researchers (V. Bykov, V. Kukharenko, O. Spirin, P. Stefanenko et al.) and the author’s own work. During the research the general logic methods and techniques of knowledgewere used: analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization for studying scientific literature, official normative documents,for comparing the scientists’ position on the content of the “distance education”concept,for determining the stages of designing distance learning course; systematization and generalization of the author’s experience in developing and implementing distance learning course on “Methods of teaching mathematics at primary school”. The author describes the main stages of designing the distance course “Methods of teaching mathematics at primary school”, which was proposedto the applicants of higher education “bachelor” degree on the specialty 013 “Primary education”. The environment for this course was the distancelearningsite of SHEE “Donbass State Pedagogical University”. Moodlesoftware was usedfor distance education. The emergence of new technologies and the rapid updating of information sources for studying prompted the teacher constantly update existing experience by own copyright practices in designinghis/her distance course. During the work, we have found out the broad possibilities of distance learning, namely multi-functionality of Moodle software. The author considers that expanding and diversifying the tasks of practical work with the latest technologies of distance education are in prospect research. We believe that research materials will be useful for the future primary school teachers, and all those who are interested in the issue of distance education development
