The students use computers, smartphones and other electronic devices everyday for their own needs. The success in Mathematics is getting lower and lower, both on local level in Macedonia and on global level also [6]. A lot of the students are having difficulties with learning Mathematics, and with that also the motivation for learning Mathematics decreases. The difficulties are shown in both, mastering the material in school and solving the exercises at home. Also, when the students solve reallife problems, they are not connecting what was learned on Mathematics classes with those problems. They almost don't use the Mathematics and the electronic devices at all for solving the real-life problems. If we succeed in encouraging the students in using these electronical devices and softwares for: examining, investigating, visualizing and solving reallife problems, we will get students that are motivated for learning mathematics, and with that also we will get increased level of knowledge of mathematics. In this project, for increasing the motivation for learning mathematics and increasing the level of knowledge, we made a web application http://mathlabyrinth.azurewebsites.net The problems that are put on the web application are connected with real-life problems the students have, who need knowledge from secondary education mathematics to solve them.
