On the Effect of Activity Based Instruction of 6th Grade Geometrical Concepts on Student‘s Success

This study has been undertaken at pilot schools of van with the aim of finding the weaknesses and permanence of activity-based mathematic program that was began to be applied at 6th class in teaching geometry department, line segment, ray, angles, polygons and similarity subjects. the programme has began in 2005-2006 academic year. from four pilot schools chosen in total and one 6th classroom from each pilot school has been randomly chosen in the boundary of van. ‘case study’ method was employed in the study and the study was applied to 108 pupils. this study has indicated that activity-based teaching increases the permanence of pupils’ success.
