Specifically, this study is conducted with the following objectives: (1) to design activities that integrate history of mathematics in the teaching of the Pythagorean Theorem; (2) to analyze how the history of mathematics helps students think critically (3) to examine how the lesson could be improved using the principles of Lesson Study as a tool for evaluating classroom practice.

This study aimed to identify the most prevalent visualization strategy in problem solving among high school students and how spatial and visualization strategy of students affect problem solving in mathematics. The researcher used descriptive statistics, correlation and regression in analyzing and interpreting the data surveyed from the student respondents of Dagatan National High School in Dagatan, Taysan, Batangas. This study was conducted among sixty students of which 30 were male and 30 were female. Results showed that the most prevalent spatial visualization strategy in problem solving among high school students is labeling important parts of the figures, graphs and diagrams. Moreover, it was found that there is a significant relationship between the students’ final grade in Math and visualization strategy. Concisely, the researcher found that there is no significant difference in the perceived spatial visualization strategy in problem solving between male and female student respondents.
