It was aimed to reveal the informal statistical inferences of primary school students on the concept of variability. A phenomenographic research approach was adopted. A task was adapted and used as a data collection tool. Clinical interviews were conducted with 20 primary school students from each grade level. Data were analyzed within the context…

This study aimed to reveal the effect of teaching the 4th grade circumference measurement subject with the dynamic geometry software "GeoGebra" on achievement and motivation. In the research, the pre-test -- post-test control group design, which is one of the quasi-test designs, was used. In the Mathematics lessons conducted with the…

Zero has been philosophically and symbolically interpreted differently from other numbers throughout history. While it is foundational to all mathematics, in early grades, it is denounced as representing "nothing." In this study, the understanding of zero among students with learning disabilities (LD) and no learning disabilities (NLD)…

In this study, a technology-supported teaching module was designed to support the advancement of critical thinking as determined by Facione (1990). The lesson plans of the designed teaching module were applied to future mathematics teachers in primary schools. In the study, worksheets constitute teaching model applications lesson plans and it is…

A mixed design was used, consisting of a combination of pre-test post-test without control group a Quasi-experimental design and qualitative data. The research's study group consisted of 21 fourth-grade…

With scientific and technological development, mathematics is becoming more and more important in all aspects of life. Starting from the basic education level, mathematics education must be made more effective and efficient to produce people who can meet the social demands of our time. In this respect, international comparative examinations are…

Mathematics is language dependent. Part of learning mathematics is learning the mathematical language. Learning disabilities are defined as disorders that are related to listening, thinking, speaking, writing, and reading that are seen in the processes of understanding or using a verbal or written language. In this context, the present study aimed…

In the study, the Three-Dimensional Geometric Thinking Test, which is a paper and pencil test, was used to…

The purpose of this research is to examine fourth grade students' ability to solve mathematical problems which have the same solutions but are given in three different formats as "symbolic, numerical and story (word) problem" and which require four operations. Within this frame, the students' solutions in different formats, their…

The aim of this study is to reveal the perceptions of fourth-grade primary students about "mathematics lesson" through metaphors and to investigate whether main categories identified regarding the common characteristics of the metaphors differed by gender. A qualitative research design was employed in the study. The study was carried out…

Research has shown that a profound place value understanding is crucial for success in learning mathematics. At the same time, a substantial number of students struggles with developing a sustainable place value understanding. In this regard, two aspects of the place value system appear especially relevant: First, the knowledge of the decimal…
