There are many attempts to study the skills needed for successful problem-solving in mathematics, and to study some effects after applying these skills. Especially, Polya analysed the skills in the view of teaching mathematical problem-solving in his book 'How to solve it'. Also there are another attempt to search for an effective way to teach metecognitive thinking skills in the context of mathematical problem-solving.
In this paper, we study the effect of problem-solving on the achievement in mathematics. We conclueded that the teaching of problem-solving is more effective to the high level students than lower level students.
