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: This study examines ethnomathematics within the Sicuriang Ludai batik motif to integrate local wisdom into the formal mathematics curriculum, effectively bridging the chasm between abstract theory and cultural reality. Design/methodology/approach: Utilizing an ethnographic design, data were gathered through participant observation and in-depth interviews with Rokan Hulu cultural experts. The data were then systematically analyzed through data condensation and verification techniques to ensure analytical rigor. Findings: The findings confirm the manifestation of plane geometry concepts—specifically rectangles and parallelograms—alongside angular relationships and geometric transformations, including translation, reflection, and rotation. Philosophically, these patterns represent the identity of the Rokan Hulu community through ingrained principles of mathematical precision. Practical implications: This research supports the implementation of culturally responsive pedagogy, providing a framework for educators to develop instructional materials that are both contextual and meaningful for students. Originality/value: As the inaugural scholarly documentation of the Sicuriang Ludai motif within a mathematical framework, this study underscores mathematics as a culture-bound entity and enriches the literature on indigenous-based learning resources in the Southeast Asian context.   Purpose: Penelitian ini menganalisis etnomatematika pada motif batik Sicuriang Ludai untuk mengintegrasikan kearifan lokal ke dalam kurikulum matematika formal, sekaligus menjembatani celah antara teori abstrak dan realitas budaya. Design/methodology/approach: Melalui desain etnografi, data dikumpulkan melalui observasi partisipatif dan wawancara mendalam dengan budayawan Rokan Hulu, kemudian dianalisis secara sistematis menggunakan teknik kondensasi data dan verifikasi kesimpulan. Findings: Temuan mengonfirmasi manifestasi konsep geometri bidang (persegi panjang dan jajargenjang), hubungan sudut, serta transformasi geometri (translasi, refleksi, dan rotasi) pada motif batik. Secara filosofis, pola ini merepresentasikan identitas masyarakat melalui prinsip ketelitian matematis yang mendalam. Practical implications: Hasil penelitian ini mendukung implementasi pedagogi responsif budaya (culturally responsive pedagogy), memberikan kerangka bagi pendidik untuk menciptakan materi pembelajaran yang lebih kontekstual dan bermakna bagi siswa. Originality/value: Sebagai dokumentasi ilmiah pertama terhadap motif Sicuriang Ludai dalam konteks matematika, penelitian ini memperkuat posisi matematika sebagai entitas yang terikat budaya (culture-bound) dan memperkaya literatur sumber belajar berbasis kearifan lokal.

Abstract

Twenty-first-century learning requires teachers, particularly prospective mathematics teachers, to possess strong mathematical literacy in order to guide students in understanding, applying, and interpreting mathematics in various real-life contexts. This study aimed to develop a valid and reliable mathematical literacy assessment instrument for prospective mathematics teachers by adopting the 4-D development model. The instrument focused on counting techniques and probability concepts, aligned with the AKM/IEA mathematical literacy cognitive levels of knowing, applying, and reasoning. The trial participants consisted of 64 undergraduate students enrolled in the mathematics education program at the second, third, and fourth-year levels. Content validity analysis using Aiken’s index indicated that all items were valid, with coefficients ranging from 0.80 to 0.95. Furthermore, construct validity testing through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) demonstrated adequate convergent validity, as indicated by an Average Variance Extracted (AVE) value of 0.581 and a composite reliability (ρc) value of 0.815. These findings indicate that the developed mathematical literacy assessment instrument meets validity and reliability criteria and is therefore suitable for use as an item bank in basic statistics courses or related subjects.

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.
