In the present study we try to highlight prospective mathematics teachers’ ability to identify mistakes of sixth grade students related to angle concept. And also an examination of prospective mathematics teachers conceptions of angle. Study was carried out with 30 sixth-grade students and 38 prospective mathematics teachers. Sixth grade students required to define the concept of angle with their own statements and describe what it brought to their minds by writing their responses on a paper. Students written responses were examined by the researchers and students’ mistakes in their definitions were determined.
