Amid the digital transformation of education and the expansion of interactive learning formats, the development of cognitive functions in primary school students gains particular importance. The article presents the concept of cognitive dynamics as a pedagogically organized process of fostering thinking through the integration of interactive cases and cognitive activity maps. A methodology for constructing such maps is proposed, enabling the tracking of changes in key cognitive functions—including attention, memory, speech, logical reasoning, imagination, and metacognition. The article provides examples and structural models of cognitive maps, along with a classification of their types and analytical approaches. Special emphasis is placed on the Kazakhstani educational context, highlighting the potential of platforms such as Kundelik, BilimLand, and AR technologies. The cognitive activity map is presented as a tool that bridges learning and thinking, allowing teachers to monitor and guide the individual cognitive development of students.
