Abstract: Formation and development of teaching capacity for primary pre-service teachers is an indispensable need to meet the new curriculum, textbooks and teacher career standards. It is
necessary to have innovations in training teacher at pedagogical universities, including the practice of teaching of primary mathematics in connection to reality. The paper presents three
training measures in practicing the skills of teaching mathematics in connection with reality for primary pre-service teachers through organizing activities using the mathematical modeling
process in teaching solving math word problems.
Keywords: The skills of teaching, Mathematics in connection with reality, primary education, training teacher.

Abstract: General knowledge and mathematical knowledge in particular has been built up throughout human history, with "specific context" for appearance, formation and development. Accordingly, context-based teaching has been studied and applied in schools in many developed countries. This article presents some characteristics of the exploitation of real life contexts in teaching mathematics and provides some samples of teaching situations and pilot implementation, conducts initial survey of the applicability of real life contexts in teaching mathematics in some northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam. This article also presents the initial results of some case studies with the use of study cards and intial assessments on the students’ final works in terms of: ability to identify the problems to solve; to modelise math problems; resolve the math problems and apply theoretical knowledge in the given real life contexts.
Keywords: mathematics in connection with reality, context-based teaching, teaching math.
