The research design employed in the study is phenomenology, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The participants in the study were selected by means of the criterion sampling method. As a result, the study was conducted with 29 volunteer students in grades 5, 6, 7 and 8 and their teacher at a secondary school in a village within the province of Nigde. The data of the study was collected by semi-structure interviews held with the participants. One of the findings that the present study yielded was the students’ positive views about the use of the material in the mathematics lessons. The teacher who was interviewed in the study stated that since the very beginning of the mathematics lessons, both the concrete materials and the technology-enhanced materials in mathematics teaching had been effective in drawing students’ attention and that implementing games and various other activities were more effective in making learning more permament. In addition, the teacher reported that the use of materials in the mathematics class established a link between the educational objectives and daily life and, thus, prevented the formation of mathematical misconceptions. Thus, the teacher believed that the difficulties experienced in perceiving mathematical concepts could be overcome and eventually increase students’ mathematical success. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMathematicsPhenomenologyStudentTeacherTeaching materialArticle2017November Special Issue IETC4894952-s2.0-85045221687N/A
