The Effect of Using Educational Mathematics Stories Enriched with Cartoons on Teaching Integers to Student’s Mathematics Achievements

Summary/Abstract: Number symbols which is used in mathematics have developed and differentiated from past to present; as the relations between people and tribes increase and social life improves, different number systems are created. About 2000 years ago natural number cluster was inadequate in solving daily life problems and integer numbers has emerged. In today’s education system, students’ ability to conceptualize and implement integers is an important need for both consecutive subjects in mathematics curriculum and related practices in other disciplines. Stories that can be used in all educational processes starting from early chilhood are educational tools that can be used to enable students to structure and simplify information. Cartoons are also tools used to attract the attention of the students to the subject in the course of limited lesson, focus their attention also develop their ability to explore, question and reason. This study aims to determine the effects of using educational mathematical stories and humorous cartoons on teaching integers to student’s academic achievement. The sample consist of 54 students from 6 grade of a state school at Kepez, Antalya in the 2017-2018 academic year. In the study, quasi-experimental pre test-post test control grouped design is used. In order to collect quantitative data Integer Success Test is used. t statistic was found as 4.49 and p probability value as .00 in t-test. According to the results of analysis it was determined that the use of educational mathematics stories and humorous cartoons significantly increased student’s academic success.
