Abstract

This study investigates the impact of integrating both concrete and virtual manipulatives on the mathematics achievement of fifth-grade students across different achievement levels (low, average, and high). Utilizing a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-tests, a convenience sample of fifth-grade students was randomly assigned to either a control or experimental group. The data collection instruments, consisting of separate pre- and post-tests on the same mathematical concepts, underwent thorough validity and reliability testing. Initial assessments demonstrated that the achievement levels between the control and experimental groups were comparable prior to the intervention. The experimental group received instruction that incorporated both concrete and virtual manipulatives, whereas the control group followed traditional teaching methods. Following a 12-week intervention period, a post-test was administered. The data were analyzed using parametric paired-sample t-tests and one-way ANCOVA, ensuring that all underlying assumptions were satisfied. The findings revealed significant improvements in post-test scores among students in the experimental group, regardless of their initial achievement levels. Although low-achieving students in the control group also showed progress, their gains were less substantial compared to those in the experimental group. This study highlights the potential benefits of incorporating both concrete and virtual manipulatives in fifth-grade mathematics instruction to enhance academic achievement.

Abstract

The use of unengaging and decontextualized worksheets has been identified as a significant barrier to the effective learning of mathematical concepts in elementary schools, leading to diminished student interests and understanding. This study aims to address this issue by developing interactive student worksheets grounded in Malay ethnomathematics, specifically tailored for teaching addition and subtraction to second-grade elementary students. An ethnographic approach was adopted to integrate ethnomathematical concepts with local cultural contexts, thereby enhancing the relevance and engagement of the learning experience. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) methodology, utilizing the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) as the framework for development. Data collection was collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires, with a sample size of sixteen students. The findings of the study revealed the following: (1) The quality of the developed student worksheets was categorized as valid, based on evaluations by three validators specializing in language, content, and media. The validation scores were 93% for language, 93% for content, and 100% for media. (2) The practicality of the worksheets was assessed by both teachers and students, with teachers rating the practicality at 82% and students at 81%. In conclusion, the developed student worksheets were found to be both valid and practical, making them suitable for implementation in elementary school settings. This study underscores the potential of culturally contextualized educational materials to enhance students’ engagement and understanding in mathematics.

Abstract

Traditional architecture often reflects the cultural values, local wisdom, and mathematical thinking of a community. In Meranti Island, traditional Malay houses contain rich geometric elements that have yet to be fully explored in the context of mathematics education. This research aims to investigate the traditional Malay house and architectural designs in Meranti Island a culturally relevant resource for teaching geometry in elementary schools. This study lies in integrating ethnomathematics into the elementary geometry curriculum by utilizing local architectural heritage, which has received limited academic attention. An ethnographic approach was employed to gain a deep understanding of the cultural and mathematical aspects embedded in the traditional architecture. This method was chosen as it allows researchers to capture the contextual meaning and lived experiences of the community through interviews, observations, documentation, and field notes. The findings reveal that traditional Malay houses in Meranti Island incorporate a variety of geometric concepts. Flat shapes identified include squares, rectangles, triangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, and trapezoids, while solid shapes include cubes, cuboids, cylinders, and triangular prisms. These findings demonstrate that traditional architectural elements can serve as meaningful and contextual learning materials for geometry instruction. The practical implication of this study is the development of culturally responsive teaching strategies that connect students' local environments with mathematical concepts. This approach not only enhances students’ understanding of geometry but also fosters appreciation for local culture and identity through mathematics learning.
