Regarding the improvement of the teaching methodology of mathematics for students using the MOOC platform – this subject is topical, because the methodology of teaching largely determines the quality of learning. The aim of this article is to explore the opportunities how to improve the teaching methodology of mathematics and promote active studies of mathematics, based on the students’ motivation. The author’s created and rehearsed material in an open online site platform mooc.rtu.lv that helps students and pupils understand basic mathematical questions and prepare for mathematics tests gives support for acquiring mathematics independently. MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) allows unlimited amounts of participants and open access to the net. We assume that most people who are interested in technologies have a good knowledge of MOOC’s basic principles and, possibly, have been involved in educational projects that use MOOC. While technologies develop, the change of distance learning courses into online educational courses seems to be a logical step. This is why there has been a rapid spread of this technology since 2011 used by millions of users.
