With the system changes made in 2012 in Turkey, the fifth grade was transferred from the primary school level to the secondary school level. For this reason, secondary school teachers were forced to teach mathematics courses to a group of students they had never met before. Fifth-grade students do not deal with algebra and cannot use equations to…

This study investigated the relationship between primary school students' mathematics motivation and problem-solving skills in mathematics. A total of 429 students were selected through convenience sampling, using a relational survey model. Data were collected using the Mathematics Problem-solving Achievement Test and the Mathematics Course…

The main purpose of this research is to examine the informal strategies of fifth and sixth grade students while solving inverse proportional word problems. Multiple case study was used in this study. The research was carried out in a public middle school from a southern city of Türkiye. The participants of the research consist of three fifth and…

This study aims to reveal the mathematical reasoning process of 8th-grade students and the reasoning indicators they use in this process. The study was carried out in line with the data obtained from the Mathematical Reasoning Test (MRT) administered to 292 8th-grade students. The mathematical reasoning performances of the participants were…

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…

This study aimed to examine the effect of using the flipped classroom model on students' proportional reasoning. In this context, the study focused on students' achievement and solution strategies for proportional reasoning problems. The participants of the study were 56 seventh-grade students, who were determined by convenience sampling method.…

Problem-solving competency is crucial for social development, especially in complex environments. In mathematics education, problem-solving enhances logic, creativity, and analytical skills, contributing to societal progress. This article identified quantitative information about important publications, authors, resources, and research trends on…

This research was conducted to examine the views of preschool teachers regarding out-of-school learning environments for mathematics activities and their usage of these environments. The research was conducted out using a phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 42 preschool teachers working in…

One of the reasons why students fail in mathematics courses is that the problems used in the lessons are abstract. In this context, it is important to embody the problems used in the lessons. Fermi problems are open-ended problems, a type of problem that reflects real-life situations that are solved by making a series of predictions. In the…

This study aims to examine the construction process of the square root concept of secondary school students in Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) based environment. The study was carried out in an 8th-grade classroom with 16 students from a secondary school in a city in the Black Sea Region. The research was designed qualitatively as a case…

This study explores high school students' and their mathematics teachers' mathematical discourses on the equal sign and variables in the classroom context. The participants in this case study were ninth graders and their mathematics teachers. The data were analyzed in terms of participants' routines, specifically ritual and explorative routines in…

The aim of this study is to reveal the mathematical literacy skills of seventh grade students according to the PISA Mathematical Literacy Framework. In the study, a special case study from qualitative research methods was used. The participants of the study were 25 seventh grade students studying in the middle school of a public school in Giresun…

The present study aims to examine the mathematical language use of primary prospective teachers through the mathematical texts they write. Forty-seven 3rd-year prospective teachers studying in the Department of Mathematics Education at a university participated in the study. The prospective teachers were asked to solve 4 open-ended mathematics…

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,…

The aim of this study is to reveal the meanings that fourth grade students in elementary school attach to the four operation symbols (+, -, x, :) that are abstract, in different representations. The pattern of the study is a case study of qualitative research methods. In the study, the evaluation tool developed by the researchers was applied to…
