Özet
Problem posing involves generating new problems based on a given situation or reformulating an existing problem. For this reason, it provides important details about learners’ mathematical knowledge, support their conceptual understanding and foster their ability to reason and communicate mathematically, and capture their curiosity and interest [1]. Although the concept of functions, particularly functional relations of the form of y= mx+ n is a fundamental topic in middle school mathematics, the number of studies about linear functions and problem posing is limited and has quantitative nature [2, 3]. Posing problems using linear graphs in real life situations is complex issue for prospective teachers because it requires knowledge about dependent/independent variables, covariation, linearity, slope, first degree equation and logic about contextual cases [3, 4, 5]. Considering the importance of problem posing and linearity, we aimed to investigate the nature of prospective middle school mathematics teachers’ problem posing about linear graphs. Furthermore, this study presents information about what kinds of errors and difficulties prospective teachers had when they posed problems with the possible reasons of these difficulties within a qualitative perspective.The study was conducted with 27 prospective teachers in the scope of school practice course. All participants posed two contextual problems based on two linear graphs individually (see Figure 1) into one week. They also reported the solutions of the problems, the aim of each problem, predictions about how students can solved the problems, and in which problems they had difficulty while …
