Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the efforts of 7th grade students to draw altitude in parallelograms and triangles. Moreover, it is to reveal the difficulties students experience in drawing altitude. For this purpose, a case study from qualitative research methods was managed. Task-based interviews were conducted with ten 7th grade students and their efforts to draw altitude were examined. The task statuses offered to students consist of two parts: Altitudes for parallelograms tasks and altitudes for triangles tasks. The collected data were analysed with content analysis approach. As a result, it was seen that the students’ understanding of altitudes were low. In addition, some results of the difficulties experienced by the students are presented as themes.
