Abstract

This study aimed at identifying the effect of using a proposed strategy in

teaching problem solving in geometry for the students of 8th class on their

achievement and attitudes towards mathematics.

To achieve the objective of this study, the researcher used the experimental

method; He prepared the strategy and used it in one school in Gaza. A random

sample of (96) students was selected from the population of the study, and an

achievement test and attitude scale were designed for this purpose.

The results showed that:

1. There were significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) in achievement between

the mean of marks of the students in the experimental group and the

students in the control group in favor of the experimental group.

2. There were no significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) in the attitudes towards

mathematics, between the students of the two groups.

Consequently the study recommended:

Encouraging math's teachers to use this strategy in their performance of

teaching geometry.
