Özet:

The purpose of this research was to investigate the elementary school students` algebraic problem solving achievement with regard metacognitive knowledge and to compare the levels of achievement based on grade level. Survey method was used in this study. The sample of the study were composed of 235 students which selected randomly from an elementary school on the European side Istanbul during the 2011-2012 academic year. The data was collected using "Mathematical Achievement Test Regarding Metacognitive Knowledge (MATRMK)".Frequency tables and analysis of variance were employed to analyze data. The result of the study indicated that, while there were not differences in elementary school students` algebraic problems solving achievement with regard declarative knowledge point of view grade level, there were differences in algebraic problems solving achievement with regard procedural and conditional knowledge point of view grade level. Finally suggestions were included for learning and teaching mathematics in elementary schools.
