This study aims at identifying the effect of using electronic educational puzzles in developing the procedural fluency in Mathematics among 4th graders in Amman schools. Semi-experimental approach was used as the methodology of the study. To achieve the study objectives, a valid and reliable exam was prepared to measure the procedural fluency amongst the students. The study individuals consisted of (100) 4th-grade students chosen from AlRagaha primary mixed school in Wadi Alseir who were chosen intentionally and divided randomly into two groups (control group and experimental group). On one side, the controlled group consisted of (50) students who were taught using the conventional method. While on the other side, the experimental group consisted of (50) students who were taught using the electronic educational puzzles. This experiment was conducted during the first semester of the scholastic year 2019/2020. The results showed a large difference in the average result between the control group and the experimental group in favor of the experimental group. Based on the results of this experiment, the researcher recommends the teachers to use modern methods of teaching, including the use of electronic educational puzzles for different subjects and different age groups.
