The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of a training
program on developing the mathematical thinking in mathematics
achievement and retention of seventh grade students. To achieve this
purpose a study sample of (182) male and femal
e students was selected
from the seventh grade. This sample was divided into four groups. Two
groups were randomly chosen to be the experimental groups that studied
the training program which aimed at developing types and
skills of mathematical thinking.
This study investigates the impact of implementing the strategies of
brainstorming and KWL on the fourth primary grade pupils' achievement in
mathematics and mathematical thinking.
