This study aims to investigate one group of Turkish 7th grade students’ strategies and difficulties in algebraic equations including minus sign in multiple functions. For this purpose, a test was administered to 46 students and then semi-structured interviews were conducted with 5 of them. Both test results and interviews indicated that students experience difficulties while solving equations either arithmetically or algebraically. These difficulties and strategies are explored and discussed in this study.

Middle school students’ quantitative reasoning in pictorial, symbolic and iconographic problems
Uyguç, Ayşenur; Sevinç, Şerife; Department of Mathematics Education (2023-1)
The aim of this study was to examine middle school students’ (5th–8th grade) quantitative reasoning in early algebra problems given in pictorial, symbolic, and iconographic forms and involved single-unit and multiple-unit substitutions. The study was carried out with a total of 60 students studying in two public middle schools in the town of Şarkışla, Sivas, in October of the 2021-2022 academic year. Participants were determined by the purposeful and convenience sampling method. In this study, a multiple ca...
Performance and Difficulties of Students in Formulating and Solving Quadratic Equations with One Unknown
KABAR, MAKBULE GÖZDE DİDİŞ; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (2015-08-01)
This study attempts to investigate the performance of tenth-grade students in solving quadratic equations with one unknown, using symbolic equation and word-problem representations. The participants were 217 tenth-grade students, from three different public high schools. Data was collected through an open-ended questionnaire comprising eight symbolic equations and four word problems; furthermore, semi-structured interviews were conducted with sixteen of the students. In the data analysis, the percentage of ...
CLASSROOM MATHEMATICAL PRACTICES OF THE SEVENTH GRADERS ABOUT RATIO AND PROPORTION CONCEPTS
Sözen Özdoğan, Sinem; Akyüz, Didem; Stephan, Michelle; Department of Elementary Education (2023-2-22)
The purpose of this study is to examine the Classroom Mathematical Practices (CMPs) of seventh-grade students with regard to ratio and proportion concepts through the implementation of a specific instructional sequence. The study was conducted using an educational design research methodology and was based on the Classroom Hypothetical Learning Trajectory and related instructional sequence developed by Stephan et al. (2015). The instructional sequence was mainly carried out by an experienced middle-grade mat...
Middle school mathematics teachers' problems in teaching transformational geometry and their suggestions for the solution of these problems
İlaslan, Serap; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Bulut, Safure; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2013)
The purpose of this study was to reveal and define the problems middle school mathematics teachers experienced in applying transformational geometry and the solutions they proposed to overcome these problems. A total of six elementary mathematics teachers (grades 5-8) in Ankara participated in the study. The data were collected by means of one-to-one interviews with the participants. The findings indicated that the participants’ problems divided into three parts. These problems were problems arising from te...
Student Difficulties and Misconceptions in Solving Simple Linear Equations
Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Ersoy, Yasar (2009-04-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate student difficulties, common errors and misconceptions in solving simple linear algebraic equations within a group of students (n = 217) from four different schools. The results suggest that the students in lower achievement groups have conceptual problems and mal-rules, some of which might be considered as misconceptions. In general, students in the middle and higher achievement levels did arithmetical and computational errors.
