Özet:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of teaching by concept maps of the angle concept, one of the basic concepts in the curriculum of 5th grade geometry course and measurement sub-area, on students’ learning performance. At a secondary school in a central district of the western Black Sea region, one of two classes was randomly chosen as the experimental group, and the other as the control group. In the experimental group, the students were taught angle concept using concept maps Inspiration9 package. The students in the control group were taught using traditional method(simple lecturing) . In teaching angle concept, teaching using concept maps significantly affected performance and attitude towards math of the students taught using concept maps, compared to the group taught using traditional method. Concept maps with active learning strategy can induce different discoveries in math lessons without being bound by a single evaluation and help students establish links between the concepts.
