The article reveals the issue of the appropriateness of training future mathematics teachers to use the techniques of mnemonics in professional activities. This issue is caused by the intensification of the educational process, when the amount of information accumulated by mankind is many times greater than the amount of knowledge that can be learned by a particular person. It is established that in the process of teaching mathematics, mnemonics should be used as a way of perceiving new information due to the formation of associative connections using special methods and techniques. The expediency of training future mathematics teachers to use various methods of mnemonics (“Binding”, “Transformation”, “Amplification”) is substantiated. A positive attitude of mathematics teachers towards the use of mnemonics techniques was revealed, as well as a low level of students' understanding of the advisability of using mnemonics techniques in professional activities. The classification of software used to create visual models is presented. A training was developed and introduced into the practice of university education on the development of mnemonic techniques for the presentation of educational mathematical material. The prospects of scientific research through the development of methodological support for the training of future mathematics teachers to use the techniques of mnemonics in professional activities are determined.
