The object of this paper is to suggest an effective teaching method of
school mathematics providing real problem situation. Solving the problems
constructed on the basis of real world data gives the students various
experiences to learn and to apply the mathematical concepts and skills. We investigate the theoretical backgrounds of cognitive learning theory and recent results of research on the mathematics education, and give an example of real world problem situation designed for the second year students in the junior highschool.
