Abstract
Blended learning is a kind of classroom learning which is suitable to help students for promoting their learning with the 21st century skills. When the collaborative learning is integrated into classroom techniques, blended learning is a way for students to learn their basic knowledge with online technology before they come to classroom, and spend most of their time in the classroom performing team activities to solve new or complex problems. This study proposes a model for teaching and learning in order to develop the blended learning through learning by teaching. Based on the gradual release of responsibility model, rainbow talk is used to encourage students to take responsibility for collaborative learning combined with flipped learning which students are assigned to study lessons and take tests before they come to classroom. This aims at studying effectiveness of the proposed model in order to improve mathematical achievement in mathematical courses of general education program for higher education. The study is a practical research that provides statistical analysis of mathematical learning results of students from the proposed learning model. The results of this study indicate that mathematical achievement of students is attained in accordance with the learning outcomes of the course at a satisfactory level and is satisfied with the learning and teaching at a good level.

Summary
Smart Math Smart Life course with code 746-102 was a compulsory course for all 1st year students, Prince of Songkla University, Pattani campus, Pattani province, Thailand This course was in the general course education program in year 2019, aimed to encourage students to have critical thinking and logic in Mathematics. In this course, mathematical problem solving was used to manage student's learning, so that they could solve mathematical problems according to their academic achievements. This is an important part of mathematical literacy This course has been designed according to the principles of outcome-based education (OBE) that sets up a level of learning, so that the students can apply Mathematics to solve their daily problems, including the following four topics (i). This reveals all information to make the decision for solving the problem well
