Abstract
The article examines the contrasting and methodological aspect of teaching Russian numerology in Uzbek classrooms. The similarities and differences in the ways of expressing the plural in Russian and Uzbek languages, as well as their influence on the process of students mastering the grammatical norms of the Russian language, are analyzed. The effectiveness of using a comparative approach in the methodology of teaching Russian as a non-native language is substantiated, and individual methodological recommendations for overcoming difficulties in studying the number category are proposed.
