Abstract

This research aimed to describe the patterns of errors and the forms of scaffolding needed by students to convert verbal expressions into mathematical models in fraction material. This research used a descriptive qualitative method. The research involved 4th-grade students from a selected elementary school in Cirebon City. Data were collected through tests and interviews. The instruments used were a written mathematical representation ability test and an interview question guide. The data analysis techniques employed included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that high-ability students effectively recognize numerators, denominators, and problem contexts, enabling accurate translation of verbal expressions into a mathematical model. Medium-ability students were able to answer most questions but still struggled to distinguish between numerators and denominators. On the other hand, low-ability students often had difficulty understanding verbal questions, which led to errors in writing fractions.

Abstract

This study analyzed high school students' mathematical communication skills on circle problems based on three categories: high, medium, and low. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through written tests and interviews to determine students' understanding and how they communicated their thinking processes in solving circle problems. The results showed that students with high ability were able to answer correctly and explain systematically. Students in the medium category understood most of the concepts but were less coherent in their explanations. Meanwhile, students in the low category had difficulty understanding the concepts and explaining their answers. These findings emphasize the importance of mathematical communication in mathematics learning. Therefore, it is recommended that learning emphasize discussion and the delivery of ideas to improve student understanding.
