This study aimed to identify the impact of using web quests in developing problem solving skills and mathematical communication among female tenth graders in Gaza. The researcher relied on a problem-solving skills test, and a note card for mathematical communication skills. The study sample consisted of (80) female students of tenth grade from Al - Zahra Secondary School In eastern Gaza. The researcher adopted the experimental approach The study concluded with a number of findings, the most important of which are the following: 1) There are statistically significant differences at significance level α = 0.01 between the mean scores of the experimental group students and the mean scores of the control group students pertaining the post-problem solving skills in favor of the experimental group. 2) There are statistically significant differences at significance level α = 0.01 between the mean scores of the experimental group students and the mean scores of the control group students pertaining the note card for post-mathematical communication skills in favor of the experimental group. The main recommendations of the study: 1) Specialists in the field of curriculum and teaching methods should adopt web quests in teaching mathematics. 2) College of Education should train teachers of mathematics on using web quests before and after their service. 3) Each school should be provided with a special room equipped with computers and supported with web quests application requirements including decorations, devices, and related tools. 4) It is important to propose studies aiming at investigating the impact of web quests on developing other skills.
