Abstract :The aim of this study is to determine the symbol errors made by primary school first and second grade students in four operations. The model of the research is a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. Working group; The sample consists of 327 students studying at the first and second grade levels of primary school, selected through criterion sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods. Content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the analysis, within the category of symbol errors; “don\`t perceive the minus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(–); sign as a plus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(+); sign”, “do not perceive the plus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(+); sign as a minus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(–); sign”, “do not perceive the multiplication insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(x); sign as a plus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(+); sign”, “the equal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(=); sign misunderstood sign\`, \`misuse the pipeline\`, \`confuse the place of the operation symbols\`, \`mistype the number symbols\`, \`not use the pipeline\`, \`not use the operation symbol\`, \`multiplying the plus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(+); sign insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(x); sign\` error types “detect multiplication insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(x); sign as dividing insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(÷); sign”, “detect minus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(–); sign as division insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(÷); sign”, “detect division insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(÷); sign as minus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(–); sign” error types determined. Among these error types, \`perceiving the minus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(–); sign as a plus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(+); sign\` was the highest rate of first-year students, and \`perceiving the multiplication insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(x); sign as a plus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(+); sign\` was the highest rate of second-year students. It was concluded that mistakes were made.
