Abstract: Increased emphasis on tasks that promote applications and connections of mathematics to the real world had been called for by researchers and several reform curriculum frameworks in several countries since the 1990s. Therefore, the demand for some changes in designing learning situations in teaching is essential in order to meet the above requirements. This paper suggests orientations in the development of learning situations to provide opportunities for students to develop their capacity of solving real life related problem.
