In the school year 2009/10 a mathematics achievement test was conducted on a sample of 576 students in the 3th grade of school. A mathematical skills test examined the ability to complete both simple and complex tasks. It also tested their aptitude for the application of knowledge to practical and problematic situations. The skills checked were mastered at a level of about 65%. Skills in geometrics were at a lower level - around 37%. Problem solving ability was mastered at a very low level. One of the reasons is that school pupils are usually under teacher guidance while solving simple typical tasks. Rarely do they solve them independently or collectively. The teacher does not allow the student to err in search of a solution, and problematic tasks rarely be found in text books.
