Abstract

Algebra has important place on the development of mathematical thinking. There are research findings indicating that students in grades 6-8 have many misconceptions in algebra. The goal of this study is to reveal these misconceptions. Findings in the study are discussed in the light of related research findings. Some recommendations are presented to overcome these misconceptions.

Özet

Matematiksel düşünmenin gelişim sürecinde cebir, önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bir çok araştırma ilköğretim 6-8. sınıflardaki öğrencilerin cebirle ilgili farklı kavram yanılgılarına sahip olduklarını ortaya koymuştur. Bu çalışma ile bu kavram yanılgılarının neler oldukları belirleme amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları ilgili literatürdeki bulgular da göz önüne alınarak eleştirel bir yaklaşımla ele alınmıştır. Kavram yanılgılarını gidermeye yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
