Studies indicate that students having these skills are able to formulate meaningful geometric ideas. It is also important that students know the significance underlying the operations and mathematical ideas employed or, in other words, that they be able to justify their solutions while learning geometry. This study analyses the justification skills of 7th-grade students using the survey research pattern. A total of 254 middle school students constitute the research sample. The study made use of a descriptive analysis of the justifications given to four open-ended questions in the geometry knowledge test to examine the data collected using the mixed method incorporating quantitative and qualitative methods. The answers given to the questions were codedas follows: complete and convincing justification, incomplete justification, incorrect justification, and no justification. The findings of the study show that most of the student solutions provided for the said questions requiring justification can be categorized under the title of incorrect justification.  \nFurthermore, the number of complete and cogent justifications is significantly lower. The study concludes that the ability of the participants to come up with complete and cogent justifications is limited.  \nKey words: Mathematics education, Justification, Geometric reasoning, Middle school students  \n1. Introduction  \nIn the present day, there is a need for individuals able to use their mind, to think fast yet comprehensively, and to come up with creative and novel ideas. Therefore, developing one's reasoning, problem-solving, and questioning skills has become one of the principal objectives of education. The importance attached to justification consisting of questioning and reasoning within the scope of mathematics education also increases gradually. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM, 2000) indicates that mathematical justification is an effective way of developing and expressing ideas on various events.  \nThe same argument also applies to geometry, a sub-branch of mathematics (Jones, 2000) . Geometry education is crucial for both making students able to use certain knowledge in daily life and helping them develop many mathematical concepts and skills (Clements et al., 2004) . Geometry education is a process aiming for students to acquire geometric knowledge and reach geometric generalizations by analyzing elements constituting geometric objects and shapes (sides, angles etc.) and their qualities (parallels, right angles etc.) on tangible objects and models (Dai et al., 215) . In addition to having the knowledge outlined above, geometry education allows one to interpret and intervene in their surroundings; it is also useful as a means of conducting studies on other subjects like mathematics and sciences. Besides, the classification of geometric shapes and understanding of their features contributes to the solution of real-life and other mathematical (measurements, algebra, and numbers) problems (NCTM, 2000) .  \nOne of the higher-order thinking skills, reasoning is about the development of skills such as geometric thinking and generalization, and the formation of geometric ideas in a meaningful way (Driscoll et al., 2007) . In the development of these skills, students should be able to justify the results they reach in their solutions (Cai, 2003) . It is important for students to be able to answer the \"Why\" question while making mathematical justification (Sandborg, 1998) . Additionally, a good mathematical justification must address the same question. Doing so would reveal the background of the information that  \nstudents have. Stylianides (2009) stated that the students' background in their thoughts by justifying them will be revealed w","cbCaiohHnUiwqK6d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiohHnUiwqK6d","pdf",527037,13,"English","# Introduction\n# Theoretical Framework","[{\"question\":\"What does the study analyze about 7th-grade students?\",\"answer\":\"It analyzes students' mathematical justification skills in geometry, focusing on how they justify solutions to open-ended questions.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the justification data collected and categorized?\",\"answer\":\"A survey research pattern was used with 254 students.
