Abstract

Mathematical representation ability is crucial in understanding fraction concepts, especially for elementary school students still in the concrete cognitive development stage. This study aims to describe the mathematical representation abilities of fourth-grade students in learning fractions through the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) approach with a joyful learning atmosphere. This approach was implemented through educational games such as Run Speech Fraction, Jump and Draw Fraction, and Walk Fast Fraction. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method, involving three fourth-grade students from an elementary school in Cirebon, each representing a high, medium, and low ability level. Data were collected through written tests and in-depth interviews, and analysed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results indicate that when delivered in an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere, the CRA approach effectively supports the gradual development of verbal, visual, and symbolic representations. High-ability students demonstrated consistency across all three forms of representation; medium-ability students showed basic understanding but still required guidance; low-ability students faced difficulties yet remained enthusiastic throughout the learning process. This study contributes to developing instructional strategies that promote gradual conceptual understanding, foster enjoyable learning experiences, and encourage active student engagement in mathematics.

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.
