Özet:

The purpose of the present research is defining the direction and level of the relationship between 8th grade students’ translating among multiple representations skills and their algebraic reasoning and revealing the predictive power on algebraic reasoning. The research was conducted in accordance with relational survey model, which is a quantitative research method, and the study group consists of the total of 188 students, who studied at 8th grade in state schools.The data of the research were collected with the Translating Among Multiple Representations Test (TAMRT) and Algebraic Reasoning Evaluation Tool (ARET). Data were analysed using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analysis. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between students’ translating among multiple representations skills and their algebraic reasoning (r=.59; p<.01). Predictive power of students’ translating among multiple representations skill on their algebraic reasoning was found as 40%. According to the analysis on the each translating skill’s prediction of the subscales of the algebraic reasoning, only translating to graph and table representation skills predict subscales of algebraic reasoning.
