Abstract
In this study, it was aimed to examine sixth grade students’ success levels on algebra learning domain. The study, in which survey method was used, was conducted with 143 students randomly selected at sixth grade. As a data collection tool; 12 open-ended questionnaires were used, prepared by considering the studies in the literature, the related course objectives included in the secondary school mathematics textbooks and the curriculum. The descriptive statistical techniques were used in the analysis of the data. According to the descriptive analysis results, it has been determined that the students' achievement levels for algebraic learning (algebraic expressions) are very low. In addition to each problem, the average score obtained according to course objectives is also below the middle level. In particular, the lowest average value is obtained in the "explains the meaning of simple algebraic expressions" course objectives. Similarly, a very low average score was obtained for the "multiplication of an algebraic expression with a natural number" course objectives. Taking into account all course objectives, the average score of the students is even lower than the middle level. As a result, some suggestions have been made to the instructors/trainees due to the low achievement of students in the field of algebra learning.
