Abstract

This study aims to analyze the mathematical problem-solving abilities of 25 eleventh-gradestudents at SMA Negeri 1 Barumun Tengah in solving Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)questions related to arithmetic and geometric sequences. The research employed a descriptivequalitative approach with data collected through written tests, interviews, and observations. Thefindings indicate that most students struggled to solve HOTS questions systematically. Based onPolya’s problem-solving steps, 80% of students were able to understand the problem, 60% coulddevise a strategy, 52% were able to carry out the strategy, and only 36% evaluated their resultsindependently. The greatest difficulties were found in the planning and evaluation stages, primarilydue to low critical thinking skills, lack of exposure to contextual questions, and the dominance ofprocedural-based teaching. These findings highlight the importance of systematically integratingHOTS questions into mathematics instruction to foster students’ higher-order thinking skills.

Abstract

Ethnomathematics is an approach that connects mathematics with the culture of society. Traditional games, as part of local culture, contain various mathematical activities that can be utilized in learning. This study aims to examine the ethnomathematical elements in the traditional game eklek and to analyze its potential as a learning medium for geometry in elementary schools. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with an ethnographic perspective through observation, documentation, and analysis of the structure of the playing field. The results show that the eklek game contains plane figure concepts such as squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and semicircles, as well as concepts of measurement, number patterns, symmetry, and spatial reasoning. The use of the eklek game in mathematics learning can increase student engagement, conceptual understanding, and positive attitudes toward mathematics
