Abstract

Understanding mathematical concepts is one of the essential and fundamental aspects of mathematics learning in schools, with the aim of enabling students to develop the ability to understand mathematical concepts, explain the relationships between concepts, and apply concepts or algorithms flexibly, accurately, efficiently, and appropriately in problem-solving. This study aims to analyze and understand the extent to which students comprehend mathematical concepts, as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the information processing system at MAN 1 Muaro Jambi in supporting students’ understanding of mathematical concepts. This research is exploratory in nature and employs a descriptive qualitative approach. The research subjects consist of three tenth-grade students selected using purposive sampling. The instruments used in this study are a mathematical concept comprehension test on the topic of SPLTV and interviews. Data analysis was conducted by reducing data from written tests and interviews, and by using methodological and source triangulation. The results of the study show that the three subjects demonstrated different levels of conceptual understanding, which were based on the memory storage components involved in each subject. It is therefore concluded that students whose information processing reached the Long Term Memory stage demonstrated a better exploration of mathematical concept understanding compared to those whose processing only reached the Short Term Memory and Sensory Register stages.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy is one of the essential skills developed in mathematics learning, as it supports critical thinking and problem-solving abilities in daily contexts. However, many students still struggle to apply mathematical symbols and strategies effectively. This study aims to analyse students’ numeracy literacy skills in solving systems of linear equations in two variables (SPLDV) by considering reflective and impulsive cognitive styles through the assimilation and accommodation framework. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with eighth-grade students at MTs N 2 Batang Hari as participants. Subjects were selected using the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT) to identify reflective and impulsive cognitive styles. Data were collected through numeracy literacy test questions, think-aloud protocols, and semi-structured interviews. Students’ responses were analysed based on indicators of numeracy literacy and their cognitive processes of assimilation and accommodation. The findings indicate that reflective students (R1 and R2) could analyse information accurately, employ mathematical symbols appropriately, construct SPLDV models, and conclude solutions logically. They predominantly demonstrated assimilation processes, showing careful and systematic reasoning. In contrast, impulsive students (I1 and I2) could identify information but struggled to use symbols and formal methods, often relying on guessing strategies. Their responses reflected accommodation processes, with lower accuracy and incomplete reasoning. In conclusion, reflective students achieved proficient numeracy and literacy skills, while impulsive students remained at a basic level. These results highlight the importance of tailoring instructional strategies to students’ cognitive styles to strengthen numeracy literacy competencies.

Abstract

Reversible thinking is the ability to reverse the order of thinking, understand two-way relationships, and logically and reflectively retrace initial information. This study aimed to describe students’ reversible thinking abilities in mathematical problem solving based on adversity (AQ). The research was conducted using a qualitative descriptive design with 21 eighth-grade students of MTs Annajah Sungai Luar. From these, five subjects were selected purposively to represent the AQ types: quitter, camper, and climber. Data were collected through AQ questionnaires, Test of Reversible Thinking (TTR) essay tasks, and interviews. The results indicated that students with the quitter type were unable to fulfill all aspects of reversible thinking. Camper-type students could fulfill two aspects, namely negation and reciprocity, while climber-type students were able to fulfill all three aspects: negation, reciprocity, and returning to the initial condition. The findings suggest that students with higher AQ demonstrate stronger reversible thinking skills in mathematical problem solving. This contributes to mathematics education by emphasizing the importance of fostering reflective thinking and resilience in the learning process.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze students’ answers in solving number pattern problems in terms of analogical reasoning ability. Six seventh-grade students with varying academic levels participated in the study. Data were collected through written tests and semi-structured interviews, then analyzed using the analogical reasoning framework, which includes four indicators: encoding, inferring, mapping, and applying. The results showed that the total scores of the six participants ranged from 18 to 30. Student 1 obtained the lowest score (18), indicating weaknesses particularly in applying pattern rules to determine the required terms correctly. In contrast, Students 3, 4, and 5 achieved the maximum score of 30, demonstrating consistency in recognizing pattern rules, mapping structural similarities, and applying their reasoning accurately across tasks. The average total score was 27.5, suggesting that most students demonstrated relatively strong analogical reasoning skills, although some individuals still experienced difficulty in the applying stage, which demands higher precision and conceptual understanding. The study contributes to understanding how analogical reasoning influences students’ mathematical problem-solving and offers pedagogical insights for enhancing instruction of non-routine tasks through reasoning-based learning strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the creative thinking of Grade 12 students in solving open-ended statistical problems. The research addresses the problem of limited understanding of how students with different mathematical ability levels demonstrate creative thinking when working with open-ended statistical tasks, and aims to describe the fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration reflected in their solutions. Three students representing high, medium, and low achievement levels were selected through purposive sampling to capture varied mathematical abilities. Data were collected through written tests and interviews, and analyzed using indicators of fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. An exploratory, qualitative approach was employed to gain in-depth insights into students’ reasoning processes. Results show that the high-achieving student generated two valid datasets (mean = 25, median = 23, mode = 20), the medium-achieving student produced one nearly accurate dataset (mean = 24.9), and the low-achieving student produced a dataset with a mean of 23.5. For the second problem, all students obtained b = 12, but only the high-achieving student justified why it is the minimum. In the third problem, all calculated the average yield as 1.225 tons, yet only the high-achieving student provided a contextual interpretation. These findings indicate that open-ended tasks reveal clear differences in students’ creative thinking. The results suggest that incorporating open-ended problems into statistics lessons can enhance students’ creative mathematical reasoning and support the development of higher-order thinking.

Abstract

External representation is essential in mathematics learning because it enables students to express and operationalize abstract ideas. However, many junior high school students still struggle to coordinate visual, mathematical, and verbal representations when solving solid geometry problems. This study aims to explore how students demonstrate external representations in solving solid geometry tasks by analyzing their pretest responses. A descriptive qualitative method was used involving nine students who completed a pretest, from which three were purposively selected to represent high, medium, and low levels of external representation ability. Data were collected using a test instrument based on indicators of visual, mathematical, and verbal representations. The results show that high-performing students can consistently produce accurate visualizations, mathematical expressions, and written explanations, while medium-performing students demonstrate inconsistent and partial representations. Low-performing students encounter major difficulties in generating meaningful representations. The findings suggest that teachers should strengthen geometry instruction by promoting the balanced use of visual, mathematical, and verbal representations to support students’ conceptual understanding.
