In this research, the effect of mathematics teaching through Polya’s problem solving steps upon problem solving success of the elementary education 4th grade students was analyzed in terms of various variables. In the study, “pre-test and post-test control-group design” was used semi-experimentally as the research method. In semi-experimental designs, there is an experimental approach in which no random distribution is used for categorizing the individuals as experimental and control groups. However, the participants’ being at a fairly similar quality is regarded. The participants who participated into the study were selected among the 4th grade students studying at two state elementary schools in Adana province in 2014-2015 academic year creating one experimental group and one control group. The data collection tools were student information form and Problem Solving Success Determination Test prepared by the researcher under the control of an expert. Obtained data were transferred int
