Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the development of the mathematical thinking ability of students in grades 8, 9 and 10 and it’s relation to their learning style. The sample of the study consisted of (1148) students chosen from 6 schools in Amman First District. To achieve the objectives of the study, a test of mathematical thinking was developed by researchers. The validity and reliability of the test were achieved by using suitable methods. VARK instrument was also administered to investigate the learning style. Results of the study showed development in the students' mathematical thinking ability when upgraded from one grade to the upper, likewise the development in the learning style. Results also revealed that the performance of students on the mathematical thinking test was the highest for people with visual style, and lowest with auditory style. In light of these results, the study recommended the necessity of developing the math curriculum for different grades by focusing on mathematical thinking and learning style.

الملخص
هدفت هذه الدراسة استقصاء تطور القدرة على التفكير الرياضي لدى الطلبة عبر الصفوف من الثامن وحتى العاشر، بالإضافة إلى علاقة التفكير الرياضي بنمط تعلم الطالب. بلغ عدد أفراد الدراسة (1148) طالباً وطالبة اختيروا من طلبة الصفوف الثامن وحتى العاشر في مديرية تربية عمَان الأولى. ولتحقيق أهداف الدراسة، تم استخدام اختبار التفكير الرياضي من إعداد الباحثين والتحقق من صدقه وثباته بالطرق المناسبة، كما استخدم مقياس فارك للكشف عن أنماط التعلم المفضلة لدى الطلبة. كشفت نتائج الدراسة عن نمو في القدرة على التفكير الرياضي بانتقال الطالب من صف إلى صف أعلى. كما أظهرت النتائج أن نمط التعلم المفضل لدى الطلبة يتغير مع اختلاف الصف، وأظهرت أيضاً أن أداء الطلبة على اختبار التفكير الرياضي كان الأعلى لذوي النمط البصري، أما ذوو النمط السمعي فكان أداؤهم الأقل. وقد خلصت هذه الدراسة إلى جملة من التوصيات تدعو إلى الاهتمام بتفعيل دور المنهاج وتبني استراتيجيات تدريس تدعم التفكير الرياضي وتتماشى مع أنماط تعلم الطلبة.
