Abstract
The importance of mathematical modeling in mathematics education gradually increases. In this sense, it is important to examine mathematical modeling skill levels of teachers and prospective teachers, who will teach the students, and to take measures to improve their skill levels. This study investigates mathematical modeling skills of prospective mathematics teachers in solving real-life problems about the fractions. The research sample consists of prospective teachers studying at the department of mathematics education of a university located in the north of Turkey. Survey model was used for revealing an existing situation. Five questions containing real-life problems about fractions were prepared in order to examine modeling skills of the prospective teachers. The prospective teachers were asked to solve these questions through modeling method. It was concluded that the prospective teachers were incompetent especially in modeling the problems where the remainder was given, and the whole was asked.
