Indeed the basis for technology has beenconstructed by science such as mathematics as a top priority. In the presentstudy, along with inspecting  fivedistinctive educational psychology theories, various teaching styles ofmathematics were scrutinized. For this purpose, a special questionnaire wasdeveloped in which every question includes one of fundamental characteristicsof these theories.  The participants inthis survey were ninety B. Sc. students of mathematical sciences in Universityof Zabol. According to the statistical analyses, the heuristic problem-solvingteaching and speech-based styles were the most interesting and least attractivemethods respectively for the survey participant while the speech-based style isthe most prevalent teaching style for them.
