Problem solving skill is a basic skill that students should acquire both in mathematics education and their daily lives. This research aims to examine fourth-grade elementary school student skills in solving four-operation problems prepared in different structures according to the situation of the unknown. In this research, on the one hand,…

In the research it was aimed to explore the attitudes and metaphorical perceptions of science, primary school and elementary school mathematics pre-service teachers towards renewable energy resources. The sample of the study consisted of 140 pre-service teachers' studying in the Science Education, Classroom Education and Elementary School…

The purpose of this study was to compare the problem posing skills of gifted and non-gifted primary school students. In this study, the case study method was used. The participants who were selected by convenient sampling consisted of 24 gifted and 24 non-gifted students attending from the East of Black Sea region of Turkey. The data in the study…

The concept of number sense first appeared theoretically in the report published by NCTM in 1989. Although it is an important concept that includes the meaning of numbers and the relationship between numbers, it is very difficult to make a clear definition of it. This could also be true for the concept of integer, which we cannot place in our…

The aim of this study is to explore the correlation between the intrinsic motivation of fourth-grade primary school students in mathematics and their academic performance in mathematics while considering the factor of their favorite subject. The goal is to determine whether there is a difference in intrinsic motivation and achievement in terms of…

This qualitative case study investigates how, and to what extent, primary school teachers notice students' mathematical thinking in the context of whole number subtraction. A task involving a student's invented strategy was used to collect data. Three noticing questions connected to the task were asked to 45 teachers. Their written answers were…

This study aims to assess and compare--at the national and regional sizes--mathematical knowledge for teaching of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers (PEMTs). Participants of the study were composed of 1,367 preservice teachers selected among 21 universities in 12 regions of Turkey. Mathematical knowledge for teaching (MKT)test, which were…

This study aimed to determine fourth grade primary school students' self-regulated learning strategies and successes in mathematics course in terms of socio-economic level. A cross-section scanning model was used in the study. The sample of the study was determined by the random sampling technique. The sample consisted of 65 students studying in 2…

This longitudinal study was conducted in order to determine and improve the mental addition strategies of students in their 2nd and 3rd years at elementary school. The first part of the study used the qualitative research method of case study, while the second part adopted the single group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The study…

This is a comprehensive study aiming to examine pre-service primary school teachers' (PPST) mathematical disposition levels in terms of various variables, and to explain the results thoroughly. It employed the explanatory sequential design among the mixed method research designs. The data were collected through Mathematics Dispositional Functions…

This research presents the outputs of problem-solving based STEM education activities applied in an undergraduate mathematics course. An experimental study using a randomized pretest-posttest control group design was carried out to examine the development of elementary pre-service teachers in the fields of mathematics achievement, belief about…

Each child will not become senior mathematicians in the future but all children have the right to get learning opportunities which he/she can develop his/her mathematical understanding at school. The success of children in mathematics is closely related to how they are taught mathematics. At this point, the role of teaching mathematics stands out…

An integer-based mathematical game was the main subject of the study. The aim of this study was to analyse the mathematical content of the game which was developed by a fourth-grade student called Esin, and to examine the intuitive learning that develops through this game. The game was based on the addition of the positive or negative numbers won…

In the world where we always meet geometric constructions, it is a necessity to make sense of the objects belonging to these constructions. In this respect, this study aimed to examine the teaching of volume with the blending of the realistic mathematics education (RME) and GeoGebra. The study group consisted of 12 students attending lessons…

This study aimed to investigate the relative effectiveness of a computer-supported teaching sequence in solving optimization problems in calculus compared to a traditional teaching approach. The participants in the study were 46 first-year prospective mathematics teachers studying in two different classes of a four-year elementary mathematics…
