Abstract

This study examines ethnomathematical practices in a home-based peanut-cake (kue kacang) business and draws implications for teaching social arithmetic. Using a descriptive-qualitative, ethnographic approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation with the business owner, Mrs. Mardiana Rangkuti (Medan, Indonesia). Analysis reveals that key social-arithmetic concepts are embedded across procurement, processing, packaging, and sales, including gross, tare, and net calculations, unit conversions, pricing, profit, and profit percentage, with minimal risk of loss. Daily records indicate a profit rate of 233.52% relative to production costs, illustrating how routine commercial decisions operationalize mathematical reasoning. The study translates these authentic practices into context-rich classroom tasks (e.g., computing net weight from gross and tare, comparing pricing strategies, and evaluating profit percentages under varying input costs). The novelty lies in integrating local cultural and economic activities into mathematics instruction, enabling students to connect formal social arithmetic concepts with real-life contexts. This approach is expected to improve conceptual understanding, relevance, and engagement in learning social arithmetic.

Abstract

This study aims to develop interactive learning media for the Pythagorean Theorem based on ethnomathematics using the architecture of the Medan Grand Mosque as a learning context. This research is motivated by students' low interest and understanding in mathematics, especially in the Pythagorean Theorem material. The development method used is the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The validation results indicate that the media obtained a highly feasible category, with an average score of 92.5% from media experts and 91% from material experts. The teacher and student responses were 88% and 79.95%, respectively, based on practical criteria. The effectiveness test through N-Gain obtained an average value of 0.520 (moderate category). These results suggest that interactive media based on ethnomathematics can enhance students' understanding of mathematical concepts and provide more engaging learning experiences by connecting the material to local culture.

Abstract

This study aims to address the low mathematics learning outcomes of eighth-grade students in flat-sided shapes lessons by applying the NHT learning model. The method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach. Sampling was conducted using cluster random sampling from SMP Muhammadiyah 01 Medan. The research design used was a control group. The research instruments were pretest and posttest essay questions. The results showed that the experimental class obtained a higher average N-Gain score of 0.790 (high category) compared to the control class, which obtained a lower average N-Gain score of 0.445 (medium category). The hypothesis test results from the N-Gain data yielded a t-count of 6.025, which is greater than the t-table value of 1.668 at a significance level of 0.05. Therefore, it can be stated that Ha is accepted. These findings suggest that the application of the NHT model significantly enhances students' mathematics learning outcomes. This suggests that cooperative learning, supported by the NHT model, can be an effective alternative for encouraging more active, collaborative, and meaningful mathematics learning in junior high schools.

Abstract

This study tries to find out if using the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) model can improve the learning motivation and math problem-solving skills of eighth-grade students at MTs Akbar Insan Cendikia during the 2024/2025 school year. The study used a Quasi-Experiment method with a pre-test and post-test design that included both an experimental group and a control group. A total of 60 students were chosen through a purposive sampling method, with class VIII-A serving as the experimental group and VIII-B as the control group, each having 30 students. The tools used to collect data were a questionnaire to measure learning motivation and a test to assess problem-solving abilities. The data was analyzed using a t-test after checking for pretest scores, normality, and homogeneity. The results showed that the CPS model had a strong impact on increasing students' learning motivation, as the t-value obtained was 2.472, which is higher than the t-value from the table (2.002). It also had a significant effect on improving students' math problem-solving skills, with a t-value of 2.250, again higher than the t-value from the table (2.002). These findings show that the Creative Problem Solving model can be a good and effective method to enhance math learning in secondary schools.
