Abstract

In today’s highly advanced era, elementary school students are not only required to be able to perform calculations but also to possess critical and logical thinking skills. One essential skill is computational thinking, which refers to the ability to solve problems systematically, similar to how computers operate-processing and solving problems step by step. Mathematics plays a vital role in developing this ability, as mathematics learning fosters logic, reasoning, and problem-solving strategies. This article discusses the relationship between mathematics learning and the development of computational thinking among elementary school students, as well as the challenges still faced in schools. The main issue is that mathematics instruction often remains focused on mechanical computation, causing students to be less accustomed to connecting mathematical concepts with computational ways of thinking. Studies indicate that when teachers integrate computational thinking strategies into mathematics lessons, students are more likely to understand concepts deeply, demonstrate greater creativity in solving problems, and develop skills that are relevant to the demands of the 21st century. Consequently, elementary school teachers need to design mathematics lessons that not only strengthen students’ arithmetic skills but also cultivate habits of logical, systematic, and reflective thinking. In this way, mathematics can serve as a crucial foundation for developing computational thinking skills from the early stages of education.

Abstract

Mental calculation is an important part of numeracy competence because it relates to number understanding, strategy flexibility, and the ability to use number relationships in solving arithmetic operations. Learning that only emphasizes written algorithms can limit opportunities to explore diverse calculation strategies. This article aims to develop a conceptual study on the use of the Batu Seremban game as a Malay ethnomathematics context integrated with a deep learning approach to support mental calculation of elementary school students in Phase B on addition and subtraction. The study uses a conceptual literature review approach by synthesizing literature on ethnomathematics, traditional games, contextual mathematics learning, deep learning, number sense, and mental calculation. Five stones are given pedagogical values based on learning agreements, namely red=1, yellow=2, green=3, blue=4, and black=5. The conceptual synthesis shows that Batu Seremban activities can be used to facilitate combining, separating, decomposing, compensation, and inverse relationships between addition and subtraction. The integration of meaningful, mindful, and joyful learning principles has the potential to strengthen meaning and student engagement. This study produces a conceptual framework as a basis for developing learning tools rooted in local wisdom.
