Abstract

The purpose of this research is to explore the effects of teaching by using mathematics worksheets over the eighth grades students’ algebraic problem solving skills. The research was carried out according to ‘the experimentation model that requires pre-test and post-test with control group’ and the answers were searched by applying correlation research techniques to sub problems which were determined according to purpose of the research. 63 students (30 control and 33 experiment group) that were attending to a primary school were forming the sample of the research. In order to gather data tests such as, algebraic problem solving skills test (ten open ended problems) was used. Mathematics worksheets were designed according to related field literature by the researcher. According to posttest results, the teaching with mathematics worksheets was more effective than the traditional method.
