| Abstract | This study aimed at exploring Senior High School Mathematic Teachers, Prospective Teachers and Student's conceptual misunderstanding on Senior High School algebra with an intent to uncover the errors they make as a result of conceptual misunderstanding. A test consisting of fourteen (14) tasks was used for data collection. A sample of 210 consisting of sixty (60) prospective senior high school mathematics Teachers from mathematics education department of University of Education Winneba forty (40) SHS mathematics teachers and one hundred and ten (110) senior high school students from four (4) selected senior high schools in Ashanti region of Ghana. The study employed convenience, purposive and simple random sampling as sampling techniques and descriptive survey design as the research design. The data collection tools used were test and semi structured interview guide. Constructivism and behaviourism theories were employed as the theoretical frame work for the study. The study identified seven (7) categories of conceptual misunderstanding in Senior High School algebra among the prospective teachers and the students' whiles six of these seven were also found among the teachers. The seven conceptual misunderstanding identified were on algebraic variables, algebraic expressions, algebraic equations and algebraic word problems. The study recommends that teachers, prospective teachers and students should be aware of the existence of conceptual misunderstanding in teaching and learning of algebraic concept. The study also recommends that, heads of schools should organize workshops and refresher courses for mathematics teachers on sensitive topics like conceptual misunderstandings in mathematics.
