dc.description	The study aimed to determine possible difficulties of pre-service classroom teachers in creating daily-life stories about line graphs. It was conducted with 80 pre-service classroom teachers studying in the final year of a Classroom Teacher Education Program at Atatürk University. The three-item Story Construction Test developed about line graphs was used as the data collection instrument. It was found that the pre-service classroom teachers had certain difficulties in constructing suitable daily-life stories for line graphs. The pre- service classroom teachers had the most difficulty in translating the continuous change in the graphs to the stories they constructed. In addition, other difficulties were noted in the pre-service classroom teachers such as inability to convey the starting value in the graph to the story, inability to represent linear change (increase or decrease), inability to represent the breaking points in the graph, and inability to convey the ending value in the graph to the story in the stories where continuous change was represented.© 2012 IOJES.
