At the same time, from actual survey results on the use of reverse-class model in teaching of mathematics for primary students in three regions such as North, Central and South regions, the article has illustrated the application of reversed-class model to develop mathematical autodidactic ability for students in some localities in Vietnam. The research results elucidated the use of reversed-class model in math education which has contributed to develop self-studying capacity for primary students in Vietnam. http://pubs.sciepub.com/education/6/7/8/education-6-7-8.pdf flipped classroom self-learning mathematics teaching
