The starting point for consideration is a geometrical task from the National Secondary School Leaving Exam in Croatia (State Matura), utilising elementary-level geometry concepts. The task was presented as a textual problem with an appropriate drawing and a task within a given context. After data processing, the key factors affecting the process of problem solving were singled out: visualisation skills, detection and connection of concepts, symbolic notations, and problem-solving culture. The obtained results are the basis of suggestions for changes in the geometry teaching-learning process.  \nKeywords: geometrical problem, mathematic language, problem solving, visualisation  \n1 *Corresponding Author.

Such tasks are used as motivational and thematic introductions, learning foundations for novel procedures, algorithms and formulas, and tools for the revision and application of obtained knowledge in new situations and contexts, as well as a discernment of new contents (Kurnik, 2000) .  \nBy solving different types oftasks, including tasks of different complexity, students have the opportunity to develop and improve various procedural skills, acquire adequate conceptual knowledge and experience the application of such knowledge and skills in more complex and new mathematics environments (Hsu, 2013). The acquisition and development of problem-solving skills allow students to acquire and apply various mathematical concepts and processes, as well as to develop and cherish adequate mathematical competencies.  \nIn the teaching process, the teacher is a designer and executant of all teaching activities (Cavanagh, 2008; Odluka, 2019) . Hence, teachers are tasked with choosing from among various types of mathematical tasks while ensuring an adequate learning environment characterised by equal opportunities to acquire and develop the knowledge, abilities and skills.  \nThe current methods of teaching mathematics are often implemented using several topics/subjects focused on a particular subject area (e.g., triangles, quadrilaterals, linear function, vectors, etc.) (MZOS, 2006). Additionally, tasks are chosen to accommodate the learning, practice, and application of area-specif","cbCaiawA5pkvjDZ5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiawA5pkvjDZ5","pdf",409183,25,"English","# Introduction\n# Problem Tasks","[{\"question\":\"What kind of geometry problem does the study focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on a stand-alone geometrical problem drawn from Croatia’s State Matura, presented as a textual task with an appropriate drawing and within a given context.\"},{\"question\":\"How many students participated, and what grades were they from?\",\"answer\":\"The study considers 182 students from the 7th and 8th grades of elementary school.\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors are identified as affecting success in solving the stand-alone problem?\",\"answer\":\"The key factors include visualization skills, detecting and connecting concepts, symbolic notations, and problem-solving culture.\"}]","Factors Affecting Success in Solving a Stand-Alone Geometrical Problem by Students aged 14 to 15 | PDF",1792088540,63]
