- Abstract
The aim of the study is to examine the mathematical knowledge of first graders, acquired in terms of educational project activities. In math classes, students work together with the teacher on modeling practical situations mostly, that are close to project activities. This is an interactive type of activity that necessitates students to work in a team, to collaborate so that the final product of their joint work can be presented to the audience in an interesting and engaging way. Mathematics plays a key role in children's development because it teaches them to think, to form logical conclusions, to look for a shorter path or a better solution. It also teaches them critical thinking, the ability to see the whole picture and be able to divide it into smaller parts. The teaching of mathematics in the first grade is aimed at mastering the basic knowledge, skills, and attitudes related to mathematical literacy and modern key competencies of students. It enriches and expands arithmetic and geometric knowledge and skills while developing logical and creative thinking, skills for information handling, independent work, and teamwork, mastering common ways of intellectual work. The project learning activity in mathematics allows the learning and educational goals to be realized in the integrative conditions of active interaction both between the students and between the teacher and the class.
