The research goal is to study the effectiveness of a proposed program in the field of professional development of primary mathematics teachers in Palestine through using creative problem-solving, and decision-making teaching strategies, and its impact on pupils' performance.

To achieve this goal, the researcher reviewed previous relevant literature and research studies, as well as the opinions of specialists and educators to draw up a list of teaching strategies that should be followed by primary mathematics teachers, and which the researcher implemented in building the program, and designing the research tools: Observation Cards, Decision-Making Scale for teachers, Creative Problem-Solving and Decision-Making Grids Tests, for students.

These tools were applied in the scholastic year 2020/ 2021 on the target group, which consisted of 15 primary mathematics teachers, and 300 students in Ramallah governorate.

The researcher used the descriptive approach to prepare the program and the research tools.
