Cuts are a subject that students should understand well because it forms the foundation of many subjects in mathematics. In this study, the skills of the fourth-class students in the primary school were studied in the issue of cuts. The study was carried out in the type of scan from quantum research methods. The study was attended by 216 fourth-class students who are studying in different public schools. The data was collected with the Problem Building Skills Test (PKBT), which consists of five open end questions on cuts, and evaluated with the rubric developed within the research framework. The rubric developed by studying the relevant literature consists of four subdimensions: language understanding, mathematical accuracy, the level of complexity of the problem and compliance with the given solution. Data analysis was carried out using visual statistics, Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U statistics. Data analysis results have shown that students have sufficient level of problem-making skills. The research also found that students’ problem-making skills scores differ significantly from mathematical achievements, but do not differ significantly from gender to gender. The results of the study have been discussed in the light of the relevant literature, the recommendations for new work in the field have been presented.
