The major aim of teaching Mathematics is to develop problem solving skill among the students. This article aims to find out the problem solving strategies and to test the students’ ability in using these strategies to solve problems. Using sample survey method, four hundred students were taken for this investigation. Students’ achievement in solving problems was tested for their Identification and Application of Problem Solving Strategies as a major finding, thirty one percent of the students’ achievement in mathematics is contributed by Identification and Application of Problem Solving Strategies.

At the present stage of society's development, there is an increasing need for highly qualified specialists who are ready for continuous updating of knowledge and skills, solving research problems in their professional activities. In this regard, one of the important tasks of the implementation of educational programs is the achievement of a high level of research competence by graduates. Teaching mathematics opens up unlimited opportunities for the development of the intellectual sphere and research skills of schoolchildren. However, the insufficient development of pedagogical technologies focused on the implementation of psychodidactic patterns of research activity development is a negative factor that prevents the realization of the developing potential of mathematical disciplines. The article presents the author's approach to the organization of research activities of high school students, based on the idea of integrating the process of educational cognition and modern digital technologies. As a key aspect of personal development in teaching mathematics, we consider the activity of mastering complex knowledge in the course of performing ordered, forming a single motivational and applied integrity of the complex tasks of a research nature, in the process of which there is an active mastery of knowledge, deeper penetration into the essence of mathematical concepts,methods, ideas. At the same time, intelligent management of research activities of high school students is carried out within the framework of using the functionality of a hybrid learning environment that integrates the functions of artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, expert systems, providing individualization of learning, synthesis of mathematical and computer modeling of the content of knowledge and procedures. The paper describes the content and functionality of the basic modules of the intellectual learning system, describes the theoretical, methodological, and technological aspects of the organization of research activities of high school students to master complex mathematical knowledge.

This article presents the results of a quantitative and qualitative research on the attitudes of students and beliefs of teachers about educational software prepared for mathematics lessons. It will be helpful for high school mathematics teachers as well as for researchers in the field of teaching mathematics. The aim of the article is to investigate the beliefs and attitudes of high school students and mathematics teachers about some educational software, including “Zambak Interactive Form” that is prepared for mathematics lessons. In the article, the following questions are answered: “What are the criteria for selecting or preparing an educational software for mathematics lessons?”, “How are the attitudes of high school students about the educational software for mathematics lesson?” and “What are the beliefs and attitudes of mathematics teachers about the educational software and Zambak Interactive Form?” For the research part of the article, two questionnaires were developed by the researcher; one for high school students and another for mathematics teachers from 9 countries. Student’s questionnaire searches the attitudes of students towards educational software. Teacher’s questionnaire searches the beliefs of mathematics teachers about educational devices and software. It was found that the use of appropriate software and technological devices in education have a positive effect on the attitude of students in mathematics lessons. The administrators need to support their teachers to find or prepare effective software for their schools. Also, majority of the teachers are aware of the importance of using appropriate educational software.

Self-study capacity is an important studying factor, especially maths, to promote learning efficiency. The research objective is topropose specific measures for developing self-studying capacity in Maths of high school students. The result proposes four measures for developing self-studying ability in Mathematics for high school students, including Motivating students' learning activities; Train skills and learning methods suitable for students' Math self-study tasks; Design learning tasks as a teaching method, in which gradually increasing difficulty for students to practice solving tasks; Practice evaluating the solutions and correcting mistakes in the process of solving math problems. The test results show that these four measures are highly necessary and feasible in the practice of teaching Mathematics in high schools. The last part of the study discusses each measure, the issues that need to be considered when putting these measures into practice.

Generally, the experimental technique of teaching mathematics has been relegated to the elementary and junior high school levels. However, this technique can he used advantageously in helping high school students perceive spatial relationships. The following experiment on cycloids was performed by a group of high school students studying analytical geometry. The purpose of the experiment was to help the students visualize the locus of a moving point—something that students have found difficult to do.
