<![CDATA[Mathematical representation ability is an important skill in mathematics learning because it helps students present and communicate mathematical ideas through various forms of representation. However, many fifth-grade students still experience difficulties in representing mathematical contexts. This study aims to examine the differences in the effectiveness of the Learning Cycle 7E learning model, Foldable Net media, and their combination in improving fifth-grade elementary school students' mathematical representation ability in three-dimensional geometry. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method involving three experimental classes. Experimental class I received instruction using the Learning Cycle 7E learning model, experimental class II used Foldable Net media, and experimental class III received a combination of both. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments, then converted into N-Gain scores and analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed a significant difference in the improvement of mathematical representation ability among the three experimental classes. The mean N-Gain scores for each class were 0.158, 0.289, and 0.383, respectively. Further analysis showed significant differences in improvement between the Learning Cycle 7E class and the other two classes, but no significant difference was found between the Foldable Net and combined classes. Thus, Foldable Net media and the combination of both treatments were more effective than the Learning Cycle 7E model alone.]]>
