The purpose of this study is to provide a description of how mathematics teachers in grades 3 choose to work with mathematics and how it affects of student performance in national tests. The categories I will use are outdoor education, textbooks, learning materials and problem solving. Laboratory materials can be everyday materials and educational materials in which pupils have an abstract understanding of the subject. This survey was conducted through interviews and observations. The survey was also conducted in relation to student performance in national math tests. Educators believe that national tests cannot determine everything that the student can in mathematics. Educators also believe that the reason for the students is refused, inter alia, the students with special needs and those pupils who do not have the motivation and interest in the subject. The teachers explain that learning materials are when the students do something with the bodies, that is when they are feeling and doing. In the laboratory teaching gives teachers an introduction to the material to be used. The laboratory materials make students understand better and create interest in the subject.
