Abstract

Mathematics instruction in Indonesia continues to encounter difficulties in cultivating students’ problem-solving abilities, particularly in topics related to algebraic expressions. This study seeks to examine instructional needs and to develop a problem-solving-oriented Student Worksheet (LKPD) tailored to algebraic form content. The research took place at SMP Negeri 6 Kupang Tengah Satu Atap, employing a Research and Development (R&D) methodology with a focus on the analysis and design phases of the ADDIE model. The participants were seventh-grade students. Data collection methods included classroom observations, teacher interviews, and document analysis. The analysis reveals that instruction remains predominantly teacher-centered, relying heavily on lectures, with low student engagement and a lack of supportive instructional media for fostering problem-solving. In response, a student worksheet was designed that incorporates Polya’s problem-solving framework and draws upon Kupang’s local context to enhance students’ problem-solving skills. This article reports on the needs assessment and the initial development of the worksheetTop of FormBottom of Form LKPD as the first step in developing contextual and meaningful teaching materials

Abstract

The Pirie-Kieren theory provides a dynamic framework that explains how mathematical understanding develops in layers, starting from initial introduction to reflection through eight layers of understanding. The eight layers of understanding are Primitive Knowing, Image Making, Image Having, Property Noticing, Formalizing, Observing, Structuring, and Inventising. This study aims to analyze students' mathematical understanding in solving literacy problems based on Pirie-Kieren's theory. This study is a qualitative descriptive study, involving 15 tenth-grade students at SMA Negeri 2 Kupang Barat, Indonesia. The research instruments used were literacy tests and interviews. In-depth interviews were conducted with student representatives who had reached each layer of understanding. Student representatives were selected based on purposive sampling. Data analysis in this study was carried out in four stages, namely data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing, and triangulation. The literacy test data were analyzed based on Pirie-Kieren's eight layers of understanding. The eight layers of understanding are. The results show that 73.33% of students reached the image having a layer of understanding, 13.33% reached the formalizing layer, 6.67% reached the image-making layer, and 6.67% reached only the primitive knowing layer. No students reached the observing, structuring, or inventing layers. The dominance of students in the image, having a level of understanding, shows that most students have only reached the initial stage. These results indicate that students' mathematical understanding of literacy questions remains at a basic level and has not developed into a reflective understanding.    Keywords: mathematical literacy, literacy questions, mathematical understanding, Pirie Kieren theory.

Abstract

. This study aims to analyze students' mathematical problem-solving abilities on similarity material based on Polya’s stages and supported by metacognitive processes. This descriptive qualitative study involved three seventh-grade students at UPTD SMPN 6 Kupang Tengah selected purposively based on ability levels: high (SKT), medium (SKS), and low (SKR). Data were collected through mathematical problem-solving tests and semi-structured interviews. The results show that high-ability students (SKT) successfully completed all stages of Polya’s problem-solving steps while demonstrating strong metacognitive regulation, including planning, monitoring, and evaluating their strategies. Medium-ability students (SKS) were able to understand the problem and plan a solution but exhibited weak monitoring and evaluation, leading to errors in executing strategies. Low-ability students (SKR) showed limited conceptual understanding and minimal metacognitive awareness, resulting in difficulties in planning, executing, and reviewing their solutions. These findings highlight that differences in students’ problem-solving performance are strongly influenced by their metacognitive skills and conceptual understanding of proportional relationships. The study emphasizes the need for learning designs that strengthen metacognitive processes and apply differentiated instructional strategies to accommodate students' varying abilities.

Abstract

Indonesian students’ mathematical literacy skills, particularly in algebra, are still relatively low, as shown by the results of PISA 2022. A significant contributing factor is the limited relevance of teaching materials to students’ real-life contexts. This study introduces an innovative approach by developing algebra teaching materials based on local wisdom—referred to as local wisdom literacy—as a meaningful context for improving mathematical literacy among seventh-grade junior high school students. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of traditional Timorese cultural practices, such as weaving patterns, local measurement systems, and indigenous numerical reasoning, into formal algebra instruction. Using the ADDIE development model, this Research and Development (R&D) study produced culturally embedded materials that were validated by experts, with validity scores of 85.4% for content and 85% for assessment instruments. The materials were also considered highly practical (96.93% by students, 96% by teachers) and effective, as indicated by a moderate average N-Gain of 0.42 in student learning outcomes. In addition to improving conceptual understanding and mathematical literacy, the developed materials serve as a culturally responsive pedagogical model that is in line with the objectives of the Merdeka Curriculum and supports the preservation of local culture. This study provides a contextual and humanistic alternative in algebra learning, which offers pedagogical value and cultural significance
