This
research aims to decrease the misconceptions and concerns of students in
mathematic lessons, increase their interest towards the lesson and bring it to
the desired level through concept cartoons and help teachers manage their classrooms
efficiently. A cartoon delivers an idea directly while shaking the thinking
worlds of individuals. Therefore, 11th Grade students studying in 20
Temmuz Science High School during 2015-2016 academic year were chosen. Concept cartoons were applied in
mathematics lesson throughout the research. Concept cartoons were prepared for
each concept concerning the lesson that would also include the students. 9
concept cartoons were developed on this issue. The application was conducted in
8 weeks. Students were interviewed after the application. A further study needs
to be done in order to find out its effectiveness on learning and classroom
management.
