Analysis of Elementary School Students' Math Skills Based on Various Variables

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to analyse the math skills of elementary school students based on various variables. This study aims to evaluate the success of students in elementary school math classes during the 2022-2023 academic year according to teacher opinions based on various variables. The data obtained may contribute to researchers working on the evaluation and development process of the elementary school math curriculum. The research will become more concrete and objective with the evaluations of our teachers.

The results of 48 classroom teachers working in the city centre of Ağrı were taken into account. The research results revealed that the math success of students is influenced by various factors according to classroom teachers. It was found that the most significant factor affecting students' math success is their success in other subjects, and that students' gender is not a significant variable in math success. Regarding the professions of parents, the responses of the interviewees were proportional. When looking at success according to families' income levels, a significant difference was observed in students' success. The research concluded that as income levels increase, access to resources becomes easier, leading to increased success. In the residential variable, it was found that students living in the city centre had higher success. According to the educational status of parents, it was found that having educated parents positively affects students' success.
