Abstract

The role of students' attitudes (disposition) towards mathematics is an important element in solving their mathematical problems and must be maximized properly. Disposition has the following indicators such as self-confidence, flexibility, persistence, curiosity, reflecting, and applying it. This paper describes the elementary students' mathematical disposition profile toward their problem-solving skills. The research method uses qualitative-descriptive. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, which were subsequently analyzed by triangulation technique. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between elementary school students' mathematical dispositions and their problem-solving skills. Students who achieve the "excellent" category of mathematical disposition indicators (mathematical disposition indicators score > 85%) have good problem[1]solving skills. Furthermore, students who are categorized as "less" (mathematical disposition indicators score < 60%) have problem-solving skills and need treatment. The analysis results that were obtained through questionnaires, observation, and confirmation with interviews indicate that the students' mathematical disposition skills in group A were categorized as excellent with disposition indicators of 95%. Students’ mathematical disposition in group B was categorized as quiet good with the students' mathematical disposition criteria of only 65%. In addition, students’ mathematical disposition in group C was categorized as less good because students' mathematical disposition skills appear only 65%.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the improvement of fifth-grade students’ mathematical critical thinking skills after using local wisdom-based student worksheets (LKPD) on the topics of Greatest Common Factor (GCF) and Least Common Multiple (LCM), to compare the results between the experimental and control classes, and to assess the effectiveness of the LKPD. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design. The study was conducted at SD Negeri 2 Makmur (experimental class) and SD Negeri 8 Makmur (control class) during the 2025/2026 academic year, using a simple random sampling technique. The instrument used was a valid and reliable essay test (α = 0.765). Data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, t-test, and two-way ANOVA with the assistance of SPSS 27. The results showed a significant improvement in mathematical critical thinking skills in the class that used local wisdom-based LKPD compared to the conventional method. The LKPD proved to be effective as it connects mathematics learning with local cultural contexts, making it more meaningful and engaging for students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the gaps in elementary school students’ mathematical literacy when solving contextual problems. Mathematical literacy is understood as students’ ability to formulate, apply, and interpret mathematics in various real-life contexts. However, learning practices in elementary schools are often still dominated by procedural and textbook-oriented approaches, resulting in a gap between expected competencies and students’ actual abilities. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design. Data were collected through contextual mathematical literacy tests, analysis of students’ written work, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews with students and teachers. The results indicate that the most prominent gaps occur in (1) understanding contextual situations, (2) translating contexts into mathematical representations, (3) selecting appropriate problem-solving strategies, and (4) interpreting mathematical solutions back into real-life contexts. These gaps are influenced by limited exposure to contextual problems, teachers’ focus on procedural mastery, and students’ low confidence in reasoning and argumentation. The findings suggest that systematic efforts are needed to integrate contextual and meaningful learning into elementary mathematics instruction to strengthen students’ mathematical literacy.
