ABSTRACT A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON THE EFFECT TO STUDENT SUCCESS OF MATERIAL SUPPORTED TEACHING METHOD IN ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS TEACHING ÇATAL, Mahfuz MSc Thesis, Statistic Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Yener ALTUN February 2020, 73 pages. The unique abstract structure of mathematics lessons in mathematics teaching causes difficulties in understanding this lesson. In this context, it is extremely important to support mathematics education by concretizing it with materials suitable for the subject and providing rich learning experiences. In this thesis, the effect of material supported teaching in elementary mathematics teaching on student achievement will be analyzed. This study, which aims at the effect of material-supported instruction on student achievement in teaching mathematics subjects in primary education, consists of five sections. In the first section, the problem, importance, purpose, assumptions and limitations of the research are given and a literature review is made. In the second section, there is information about mathematics education and teaching. In the third section, information about the method used in the research is discussed. In the fourth section, the findings obtained through the tests applied in a central primary school in Van and the interpretations of the findings are given. The fifth section includes discussion and conclusions. Keywords: Mathematics, Mathematics teaching, Material supported teaching
