This paper provides an analysis of mathematics teachers' use of curriculum materials. 13 elementary mathematics teachers participated in the interviews for how they used the curriculum materials, specifically textbooks. The purpose of this study is to examine what mathematics teachers do with curriculum materials and how they use them for mathematics. The results of the interviews indicated that mathematics teachers used different textbooks to make instructional decisions, and they mostly adapted problems and examples in a constructive way.

A case study of elementary mathematics teachers' views of their and students' textbook usage and of mathematics textbooks' characteristics Başer, Nadiye; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers’ ways of using mathematics textbooks while planning the lesson and during the lesson, to document teachers’ views about elementary students’ usage of mathematics textbook during the classroom time and for their homework and teachers’ views about mathematics textbooks’ characteristics. A case study was conducted in a private elementary school with more class hours for mathematics and six mathematics teachers teaching 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th grade mathemati...
A Case study on middle grade mathematics teachers’ use of questioning in teaching lines and angles Yılmaz, Ayşenur; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Education (2018) The purpose of the study was to identify tools that help teachers to use in teacher questioning in middle-grade mathematics classrooms. In addition to this, the study aimed to examine teachers’ questioning behaviors concerning teachers' question types and the interaction among the tools for questioning and question types. This study was applied a multiple case with two middle grade mathematics teachers. The participant teachers were video recorded for the lines and angles topic. In one of the classroom, tec...
An Investigation of prospective elementary mathematics teachers' probabilistic misconceptions and reasons underlying these misconceptions İlgün, Münevver; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The purpose of this study was to determine performance of prospective elementary mathematics teachers on answering the items handling the probabilistic misconceptions. The other aim was to investigate the underlying reasons behind these misconceptions of prospective elementary mathematics teachers. To address these aims, qualitative approach was performed. The sample of this study was obtained through convenience sampling. Data were gathered during 2011-2012 spring semester by administering Probability Misc...
A Phenomenological study on incorporating the history of mathematics into teaching from the perspective of primary and mathematics teachers Sözen, Sinem; Akyüz, Didem; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The aim of the present study is to describe the incorporating the history of mathematics into teaching approach from the perspectives of primary and middle grade mathematics teachers in the classroom environment by means of phenomenological research design. Two primary and two mathematics teachers participated in the study. Data collected from three interviews and two lesson hours observation were analysed based on phenomenological research design. The teachers’ background information and the essence of inc...
A Study on inservice teachers' attitudes toward and beliefs about mathematical problem solving Çokçalışkan, Hasan; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The main purpose of this study was to investigate elementary teachers’ and elementary mathematics teachers’ attitudes toward and beliefs about mathematical problem solving in terms of gender and grade level being taught. Moreover, the relationship between elementary teachers’ and elementary mathematics teachers’ attitudes and beliefs was evaluated in this study. The data were collected from 141 in-service elementary teachers who are teaching 4th and 5th graders and elementary mathematics teachers who are te...
