Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the cooperative learning model, Student Facilitator and Explaining, on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities in Grade IX of SMP Tiga Hati Kepenuhan Hulu. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The study subjects were Grade IX students divided into two groups: the experimental group, which was taught using the Student Facilitator and Explaining model, and the control group, which was trained using a conventional learning model. Data were collected through a mathematical problem-solving ability test. The hypothesis testing results showed that the t-value (2.37) was greater than the t-table value (2.12) at a significance level of α = 0.05. Therefore, H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. This indicates a significant effect of the Student Facilitator and Explaining cooperative learning model on students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities

Abstract

Tiga hal yang menjadi inti masalah pada mitra yaitu rendahnya kemampuan matematika siswa, kurangnya pemahaman siswa terhadap kemampuan apa yang wajib dikuasai sebagai dasar dalam memahami matematika, terakhir kurangnya pendampingan kepada siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal terkait dasar-dasar matematika yaitu materi operasi bilangan, pecahan dan bilangan berpangkat. Solusi yang akan dilakukan pada kegiatan ini adalah memberikan Sosialisasi mengenai kemampuan dasar yang harus dikuasai siswa untuk memahami matematika, Memberikan Sosialisai mengenai kemampuan yang diperlukan dan memberikan pendampingan dan bimbingan kepada siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal-soal terkait materi-materi tersebut. Secara singkat tahapan dari kegiatan ini adalah persiapan, pelaksanaan dan pelaporan.

Abstract

A systematic mentoring relevant to the demands of mathematics olympiads based on reasoning. The purpose of this activity is to enhance students’ reasoning abilities, develop a cotextualized olympiad learning module, and strengthen the competencies of teacher coaches. The implementation method uses a participatory-educative approach, actively engaging both students and teachers at every stage of the activities. The activities consisted of training, simulated, and competitive motivation sessions based role models. Evaluation was conducted throught pre test and post test, observation, and perception survey. The result show that there were an increase inthe average score of student’s reasoning by 52% and the accuracy rate of answers increases from 47,8% to 82,5%. This improvements were supported by mentoring strategy used, which includes habituation of a gradual approach, pattern identification, and the application of systematic critical thinking logic. Qualitative results futher indicated that 85% of student reported greather confidence and 90% benefited simulation question. The learning module proved effective in assisting teachers to improve their mentoring techniques and facilitating students’ understanding of the material. The growth of intrinsic motivation shows that 70% of student are motivated to participate in similar competitions in the future. These findings confirm that directed mentoring based on logical exercises and reflection is effective not only in improving student’s readiness to face olympiads but also has potential to bulid a culture of critical learning and independent coaching in schools.

Abstract

Purpose – Students’ mathematical problem-solving ability remains low, particularly in the topic of relations and functions, as evidenced by frequent errors in solving problem-solving tasks. This study aims to identify and analyze the types of errors made by eighth-grade students in solving mathematical problem-solving questions on relations and functions using Newman’s Error Analysis. Methodology – This study employed a qualitative, descriptive research design. The participants were 29 Grade VIII.6 students from State Junior High School 1 Rambah. Data were collected through written problem-solving tests, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The data were analyzed using Newman’s Error Analysis framework, which includes reading, comprehension, transformation, process skills, and encoding stages, following the steps of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings – The results indicated that the least frequent error was reading errors (36.2%), followed by comprehension errors (91.4%) and transformation errors (89.7%). The most frequent errors were process skills errors and encoding errors, each occurring in 100% of students’ responses. These findings suggest that students experience significant difficulties in executing mathematical procedures and expressing final answers correctly. Novelty – This study provides a detailed error profile of students’ problem-solving processes on relations and functions using Newman’s Error Analysis, highlighting critical stages where students consistently fail. Significance – The findings benefit mathematics teachers, curriculum developers, and researchers by providing insights into common student errors and supporting the development of instructional strategies that utilize students’ errors as learning resources to improve problem-solving ability.

Abstract

Purpose – Mathematical communication is essential in 21st-century mathematics learning because it enables students to represent, explain, and interpret ideas when solving contextual problems. This study aimed to describe seventh-grade students’ mathematical communication in solving algebraic word problems. Methodology – A qualitative descriptive design was used. Seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Rambah Hilir were purposively selected to represent high-, middle-, and low-achieving groups based on classroom performance and test results. Data were collected using an algebraic word-problem written test and semi-structured interviews. Analysis followed data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Mathematical communication was examined using three indicators: (1) translating contexts/diagrams into mathematical language or models; (2) explaining mathematical ideas and relationships in writing; and (3) reading and interpreting written mathematical representations. Findings – Students’ mathematical communication was low. High-achieving students met all indicators, producing accurate representations and coherent written reasoning. Middle-achieving students generally met indicators (1) and (3), but their written explanations (indicator 2) were incomplete or unclear. Low-achieving students struggled across indicators, particularly in forming algebraic models and interpreting representations, leading to incorrect or incomplete solutions. The results highlight the need for explicit scaffolding of representation, written explanation, and interpretation in algebraic word-problem instruction. Novelty – This study offers an indicator-based profile of mathematical communication in algebraic word-problem solving across achievement levels using combined test and interview evidence. Significance – The findings support teachers and curriculum developers in designing learning activities and assessments that strengthen communication, representation, and reasoning in junior secondary algebra.
