The study presents results of research investigations conducted in one elementary school in connection with implementation of mathematics teaching in English using the CLIL method. The aim of the presented case study was to contribute to uncovering the influence of this teaching method on the academic results of pupils in mathematics and the study outlines briefly an analysis of the pupils’ strategies used when solving word problems at elementary school level. At the same time, the paper also presents possible causes of the changes, which were identified in the pupils’ ways of solving word problems.
