Abstract

This study aims to understand the role of simulation-based mathematics learning media in developing the cognitive abilities of early childhood. This media is an interactive approach that utilizes a digital or virtual environment to represent mathematical concepts in a concrete and engaging manner for children. Through simulation, children can explore, manipulate, and solve mathematical problems directly, thereby encouraging active engagement and meaningful learning. Recent studies have shown that the use of simulation media can improve conceptual understanding, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving abilities in early childhood. Simulation also provides an adaptive learning experience that can be tailored to the needs and learning styles of each child, effectively accommodating the diversity of cognitive abilities in the classroom. In addition, simulation media supports cognitive development in accordance with Piaget's and Vygotsky's theories, where children learn through active interaction with the environment and guidance from adults. This study highlights the importance of selecting and developing simulation media that are appropriate to the cognitive developmental stage of early childhood, as well as the need to evaluate the effectiveness of these media through valid and reliable measuring instruments. Thus, simulation-based mathematics learning media has the potential to be an innovative solution in improving the quality of mathematics learning and supporting the optimal cognitive development of early childhood.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the square board as a teaching tool to improve students' learning outcomes in quadratic equations. This research is motivated by persistent global challenges in mathematics education, particularly regarding students' difficulties in understanding and solving quadratic equations due to their abstract and complex nature. The square board, which provides a visual and interactive approach, is designed to help students concretely visualize completing the square and the structure of quadratic equations. Using a quasi-experimental design, this study involved high school students divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group received instruction using the square board, while the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests to measure conceptual understanding and problem-solving abilities. The results showed that students taught with the square board demonstrated significantly higher improvements in conceptual understanding and procedural fluency than those in the control group. These findings suggest that the square board increases engagement and motivation and addresses common misconceptions and procedural challenges associated with quadratic equations. This study contributes to the growing literature on innovative mathematics teaching methods by providing empirical evidence for using concrete manipulatives in algebra learning. This study also highlights the need for further research on integrating visual and interactive media in mathematics classrooms to support deeper learning and improve student learning outcomes.
