Correlation of problem solving ability and academic achievement in mathematics among school students of secondary level

Mathematics is one of the most important subjects in school. Mathematic presents and develops the "problem-solving" notion, a core component of classroom learning with a strong formative effect on children. Problem solving is the most successful notion in mathematics for conceptualization and re-conceptualization of concepts, operational and basic mathematical information transfer, and ensuring long-term and meaningful learning. The present experimental research intended to find correlation of problem solving ability and academic achievement in mathematics among students at secondary level. The finding of study revealed that there is found strong positive correlation of problem solving ability and academic achievement in mathematics among students at secondary level
