Abstract

The abstract contains a brief description of the purpose: describes the objectives and In recent years, a new system has introduced itself to the world: Artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial intelligence, an active educator, has begun to take its place in our lives every day. Therefore, it has also taken its place in the education and training system. Artificial intelligence, which is also used in mathematics education, has become one of the shaping effects of the future. Therefore, it is important for education to start from a young age. The main purpose of this study is to explain the artificial intelligence system consisting of mathematical data in the language of primary school students and to increase mathematical curiosity with fun activities and applications. For this purpose, forty-five 4th grade students were studied. The study is a mixed-design study including quantitative and qualitative methods. Since the subject of data processing in mathematics was explained in the study, a pre- and post-test of success was applied. In addition, the opinions of the students were analyzed for the activities performed. In the light of the findings obtained from the study, it was observed that the students' mathematical success increased with simple artificial intelligence applications. In addition, the students whose opinions were taken stated that they discovered the relationship of the artificial intelligence system with the subject of data processing in mathematics as a result of the applications performed and that this increased their mathematical curiosity. These applications and evaluations developed suggestions for more artificial intelligence studies, especially in mathematics classes, at the primary school level.

Abstract

Mathematics is an important science that shapes the future as it did in the past. The mathematical knowledge, which helps explain other sciences, needs to be transferred and adopted to the next generation with this awareness. However, nowadays, mathematics is increasingly presented as a subject that should be avoided and is famous for its failures. The feeling of insensitivity towards mathematics brought about by mathematical anxiety and fear is now one of the important issues that needs to be solved on its own. For this purpose, in addition to increasing students' interest and sensitivity towards mathematics, teachers and parents must support this motivation in a necessary and sufficient way. In this study, it is discussed what the insensitivity and anxiety that develops towards mathematics are and under what conditions they are triggered. In addition, solution suggestions for eliminating mathematical insensitivity were presented in line with the opinions of students, teachers and parents, with whom semi-structured interviews were conducted in accordance with the purpose and scope of the study. The data of the study was analyzed by content analysis and the results were added to the solution suggestions headings in the study.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of the flipped classroom model and creative mathematics activities and games on mathematics achievement. Two equivalent 4th-grade students from a public school in Kırıkkale, Turkey, were randomly selected to create experimental and control groups. The experimental group consisted of 25 students, while the control group consisted of 27 students. Before the application, a mathematics achievement test prepared by the curriculum was applied to both groups, while Mathematics game videos following the curriculum were ready for the experimental group. Then, application studies were carried out with the experimental group for 4 weeks. Meanwhile, no intervention was made in the control group, and their traditional teaching continued. At the end of 4 weeks, the mathematics achievement test was re-administered to both groups, and the results were compared. While the difference between the experimental group's pre- and posttest mean scores is 16,68, the difference between the control group's pre and posttest mean scores is 6,37. As a result, it was concluded that creative games and activities combined with the flipped classroom model increased mathematics achievement. The study recommended designing creative activities with the flipped classroom model to increase success in other courses, such as mathematics.
