The Relationship Between 8th Grade Students'ʹ Number Sense And Achievement Related to Exponentials
Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between eighth grade students’ number sense
and achievements related to exponentials. The study group consists of 48 eighth grade students in a
public school. The data collection tools are "ʺThe achievement test related to exponentials"ʺ developed
by the researcher and “The number sense scale related to exponentials” developed by Iymen (2012).
The study is survey model to determine the relationship between eighth grade students’ number sense
and achievements related to exponentials and the pearson correlation coefficient is calculated to
determine this relationship.
As a result of the study, eighth grade students’ achievement related to using their number sense is low
in exponentials questions, their achievement related to exponentials is mid level. In addition, student’
achievement scores related to exponentials is higher than their number sense scores from the same
question. The results also revealed that the scores of the students on exponentials are significantly
correlated with their number sense related to exponentials.
