Algebra is often perceived as difficult for students. To overcome these difficulties algorithms can be used. Flow Chart (FC)application, used in creating algorithms, can show complex problems with easy diagrams. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of FC on students' algebra achievement and attitudes towards algebra. The study has an explanatory mixed design. First a static group pre-test and post-test design was used. Then students' opinions on the use of FC in the algebra learning process were investigated. The sample of the study consists of 41 seventh grade students. Algebraic achievement and attitude tests were applied as pre- and post-test. It was observed that FC caused statistically significant difference in success of algebraic expressions, but there was no significant difference in attitude towards algebra. The factors affecting FC-supported algebra learning were gathered under four themes.
