This study attempted to figure out new teaching method of mathematics teaching-learning by applying Polya's 4-level strategy to mild disability students at the H Special-education high school where the research works for. In particular, epilogue and suggestion, which Polya stressed were selected and reconstructed for mild disability students. Prior test and post test were carried by putting the Polya's problem solving strategy as independent variable, and problem solving ability as dependent variable. As a result, by continual use of Polya's program in mathematics teaching course, it suggested necessary strategies to solve mathematics problems for mild disability students and was proven that Polya's heuristic training was of help to improve problem solving in mathematics.
