Abstract

The problem found is the low understanding of concepts on division operation material. This is due to the difficulty of understanding the abstract material. This is triggered by the lack of utilization of relevant learning media to overcome it. This study examines the effect of RME-based division machine props on the conceptual understanding of division among seventh-grade students at SMP Yayasan Perguruan IRA. This research design uses a pre-test and post-test control group as part of a quasi-experimental research method with a quantitative approach. The population of this study was all seventh-grade students, with a sample of 18 students in the control class and 18 in the experimental class. In the post-test, the control and experimental classes obtained sig <0.05, so it was stated that there was a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class. Thus, the study results showed a substantial effect in applying Realistic Mathematic Education (RME)-based division machine props on understanding the concept of division operations in class VII of SMP Yayasan Perguruan IRA. The findings highlight the practical effect of RME-based teaching aids in improving students' conceptual understanding and emphasize the need for scalable, inclusive teaching aids in mathematics education.

Abstract

Mathematical critical thinking ability is an essential competence in 21st-century learning, as it enables students to understand, analyze, and solve problems logically and systematically. However, students’ mathematical critical thinking ability in the topic of solid figures with flat surfaces remains relatively low. Therefore, this study aims to describe the profile of students’ mathematical critical thinking ability and to analyze students’ errors in solving problems related to solid figures with flat surfaces based on critical thinking indicators. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving 25 ninth-grade students at UPT SMP Negeri 10 Medan. The research instruments consisted of an essay test designed according to four indicators of mathematical critical thinking interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference and an interview guideline to explore the causes of students’ errors. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that students’ mathematical critical thinking ability predominantly falls into the low category, with 22 students classified as low, 3 students as moderate, and no students reaching the high category. The percentage of achievement for each indicator shows that interpretation reached 85.93%, analysis 81.64%, evaluation 75.39%, while inference was the lowest indicator at 18.75%. Interview findings reveal that students’ errors are mainly related to inaccuracies in identifying given and required information, failure to write appropriate formulas, incorrect problem-solving strategies, and the absence of final conclusions. These findings suggest that students’ mathematical critical thinking processes have not been carried out systematically from problem comprehension to conclusion drawing. Therefore, instructional strategies emphasizing structured and step-by-step critical thinking processes are recommended to enhance students’ mathematical critical thinking abilities.
