Özet: This article analyzes the manifestation of the children’s emotional coping and its forms at the first grade. The emotional coping skills are important to the success and well-being of a human being and the basis for these skills is built already in the early childhood. Therefore, the main research subjects are the children (N = 21) whose emotional coping has been observed in the interactional classroom situations related to the mathematical problem-solving tasks during the school year in 2006-2007. As a result, six various forms of emotional coping were found, which exemplified either constructivist, operational, or emotional coping. Familiarizing oneself with the various forms of emotional coping contributes to the teacher’s abilities to enhance the student’s emotional coping to survive and direct their emotions, the target being the emotional directedness both in mathematics and in learning in general.
