The study aimed to prepare a proposed strategy based on problem solving, brainstorming and cooperative learning for teaching mathematics to the students of basic education in Oman.

The study also aimed to investigate the effectiveness of this strategy in developing the creative thinking skills and the attitude towards mathematics among these students.

The study sample comprised (57) students in the fourth grade from Al-Badaea and Al-Mutazah schools in Salalah city of Dhofar Governorate, and were randomly divided into two groups.

The first group was the experimental group (29 Students) from Al-Badaea school and the other one was the control group (28 Students) from Al-Mutazah school.

Data were collected via the test of creative thinking and the scale of attitude towards mathematics for the sample in measurement unit.

Data were analyzed using SPSS program based on mean, standard division, T test, and η2.

The study concluded that there were significant differences at (0.01) between the creative thinking and attitude towards mathematics of the experimental group and those of the control group in favor of the experimental group.

Also, there were significant differences at (0.01) between the mean grades of students in the pre- test of creative thinking and attitude towards mathematics and those of the post-test in favor of the post-test.
