Study on 8 th Grade Students' Thoughts about the Mathematics Course

This paper investigates the thoughts of the 8th grade students in Turkey on the mathematics course and the relations between the mathematics courses and other variables such as the students' origins, gender and the mathematics scores students achieved. Based on the results, it was concluded that there is not evidence reflecting a relation between students' origins and thoughts, but there is a relation between their thoughts, their gender and their mathematics scores.
