Abstract

Middle school students often encounter dificulties in solving integer operation problems, such as understanding concepts like positive and negative integers and correctly applying arithmetic symbols. This study utilizes a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to analyze these difficulties, searching academic databases like Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Sinta for relevant articles published from 2019 to 2023 and included articles published in 2024 . Articles were selected based on criteria assessing their relevance to the research topic, methodological rigor, and contribution to understanding students' struggles in integer operations. The research identifies three main difficulties: conceptual comprehension, handling factual knowledge, and procedural application. Many students struggle with applying learned concepts, differentiating between positive and negative integers, and using arithmetic symbols accurately. Factors contributing to these difficulties include a lack of seriousness in problem-solving, reliance on peers for answers, and hesitancy in seeking assistance from teachers. The study recommends reinforcing fundamental concepts through diverse teaching methods, fostering student independence in mathematical problem-solving, and developing critical thinking skills to support students in overcoming these challenges and improving their mathematical proficiency.

Abstract

Mathematics, often perceived as abstract and daunting, can be made more engaging and relevant through its integration with cultural contexts. Ethnomathematics, the study of mathematics embedded in cultural practices, offers a promising approach to enhance student motivation and understanding. This study investigates the potential of the traditional Indonesian Congklak game to teach fundamental mathematical concepts (multiplication, division, GCF) within an ethnomathematics framework. By analyzing game mechanics and observing student engagement, the study demonstrates Congklak's effectiveness in fostering positive attitudes towards mathematics, enhancing problem-solving skills, and promoting deeper conceptual understanding. While previous research has explored Congklak in mathematics education, the novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on analyzing the game's rules to explicitly demonstrate how it embodies and reinforces key mathematical principles. This approach provides a more nuanced understanding of Congklak's pedagogical value and offers a replicable model for integrating other traditional games into mathematics curricula.
