The most important factor that distinguishes humans from other living beings is the combination of emotional and cognitive development. In this context, it is impossible to consider emotional and cognitive factors separately in mathematics education. However, one of the fundamental challenges of mathematics teaching is the separate treatment of the emotional and cognitive domains. Research on mathematical learning in general, and problem solving in particular, has been predominantly cognitive, with relatively less focus on emotions or cognitive-emotional interactions. Particularly in our country, there is a need to develop studies in this area in terms of quantity and/or quality, and examining the interaction between emotion and cognition in problem-solving processes emerges as a necessary topic. This project proposal focuses on the interactions between the emotional and cognitive dimensions of students in problem-solving processes involving representations. The participants in the research will be selected through criterion sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods, from Rider University's partner regional schools, consisting of primary school pupils who perform above average and are volunteers - at least 8 and at most 12. Through task-based clinical interviews, codes for emotional and cognitive domains and the interactions between these domains will be identified. The analysis of the data is planned to consist of data processing, data visualisation, and the process of drawing conclusions.
