Currently, in Vietnam, the education sector directs: Mathematical problem-solving capacity is considered one of the core competencies that need to be fostered and developed for learners. Understandably, students' ability to solve math problems is the ability to mobilize and promote all their knowledge, skills and experiences to solve math-related problems. In order to have a scientific and practical basis in making recommendations on policies and teaching methods to develop students' ability to solve math problems. In order to have a scientific and practical basis in making recommendations on policies and teaching methods to develop students' ability to solve math problems, we conducted a survey with 600 students and 75 teachers at high schools in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Research results show that the ability to solve math problems is composed of 4 main components, and this ability of high school students in Vietnam is still relatively low, mostly medium. This result is the basis for us to give suggestions for developing math problem solving ability in high school students.
