- Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to examine the area measurement knowledge and skills of middle school students. In the study, in which the descriptive method was used, the data were collected in written form with 8 open-ended questions from 92 seventh grade students. Students' answers to open-ended questions were analyzed with a scoring scale. The research shows that the majority of students who correctly estimate the size of the area measurement units are in the majority, but they have difficulty in transforming the standard area measurement units. Students who can calculate the area as the number of unit squares covering a region are in the majority. It was observed that the students who were successful in measuring the area of the rectangle had low success in measuring the area of the parallelogram, triangle and trapezoid, and it was observed that the students tended to multiply the two sides of the polygon while measuring the area. In addition, it was determined that some students confused the area with the environment.
