Abstract EN

This research aims to develop visual thinking Skills and life applications in mathematics of the one - grade secondary school students.

The research sample consists of (49) students from Al Saadiya Secondary albahriat almushtarakat School in Kafr Saad Center.

The experimental group consisted of (25) students and the control group consisted of (24) students.

The instruments of the study included A questionnaire of the visual thinking skills which should be developed for the secondary stage students, a visual thinking skills test, a life applications in mathematics test, Enriching program, a Student Book.

The results revealed the effectiveness of the enrichment program based on interactive virtual manipulatives in developing one - grade secondary school students^, visual thinking Skills and life applications in mathematics in light of the communicative theory.

Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group students in the pre – post applications of the visual thinking skills test in favor of the post - application.

There was also a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control group students in the post application of the visual thinking skills test in favor of the experimental group students.

In addition, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental group students in the pre - post applications of the life applications in mathematics test in favor of the post - application.

furthermore, there was a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups in the post application of life applications in mathematics test in favor of the experimental group.
