In this study, it was aimed to comparatively examine
the students' ability to define and draw parallelogram for each class level.
Case study was chosen as the methodology of this study and the working group of
the study consists of 120 middle school students from a state middle school in
Turkey. Two open ended questions were used to gather data. One of the questions
was taken from the study of Fujita (2012) and other question was prepared by
researches after examining relevant literature, mathematics curricula and
textbooks. The document analysis method was used to analyze data. As a result
of the research, it was seen that students at all class levels drawn
prototype-parallelogram, and students at all class levels had difficulty in
defining parallelograms. It has been determined that students at all grade
levels cannot associate with the rhombus, a special form of parallelogram, and
do not prefer it in their drawings.
