Abstract

The development of technology in this world is growing rapidly. Today, development of technology has penetrated and developed considerably, especially in the education sector such as the use of google sites, Geogebra, etc. which can be used as learning media, especially in the field of mathematics. However, this technology-based learning media only places students as passive elements in the learning process. The passive element in question is the lack of spatial reasoning ability of students in understanding learning materials, one of which is Space Geometry material in mathematics subjects. To create teaching and learning that is easy to understand in order to improve spatial abilities, it is necessary to have props that can visualize space buildings so that students can better describe the space buildings being studied. AR-based technology can be a solution to improve students' spatial reasoning because AR is an interactive media and has visualization capabilities. The application of technological aids like AR, if properly utilized, will be a great way to counter students' passivity. Learning mathematics using Augmented Reality technology innovation could simplify learners in understanding the material, especially in geometry material. Based on this, we developed teaching aids on three-dimensional building materials.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the mathematical representation abilities of eleventh-grade students in solving matrix problems. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. The research participants consisted of six students selected from a total of 29 students in Class XI MIPA 4 at SMAS Mujahidin Pontianak. Participants were chosen through purposive sampling based on three levels of mathematical ability (high, moderate, and low) with two students representing each category. The study analyzed students' representation abilities across three dimensions, namely visual, symbolic, and verbal. Data were collected through written tests and interviews. The data analysis process involved three stages: data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results revealed that students with high ability demonstrated comprehensive mastery of all three forms of representation. Students with moderate ability showed sufficient proficiency in visual and symbolic representation but had limitations in verbal representation. Meanwhile, students with low ability encountered difficulties in all three aspects. These findings suggest that teachers should design instructional strategies and tasks that promote students' abilities to make conjectures, interpret, justify, and connect mathematical ideas, thereby enhancing students' mathematical representation abilities.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the types of difficulties encountered by students in solving linear equation problems in relation to their mathematical communication skills. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. The research subjects consisted of 30 eighth-grade students from a junior high school in Tasikmalaya, selected purposively. Research instruments included a written test to identify students’ difficulties in mathematical communication and a guided interview protocol to explore the underlying causes of these difficulties. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and triangulation techniques to ensure validity and reliability. The findings revealed three primary categories of student difficulties: (1) difficulty in representing linear equations graphically due to limited understanding of coordinate systems and variable relationships; (2) difficulty in clearly articulating mathematical reasoning, indicating weak verbal communication skills; and (3) difficulty in formulating mathematical models from contextual problems, demonstrating a reliance on procedural strategies without conceptual understanding. The discussion highlights that these communication challenges stem from instruction that overemphasizes procedural outcomes and provides limited opportunities for students to engage in reflective mathematical discourse. The study implies the need for communicative, concept-based learning designs that integrate real-world contexts, emphasize multiple representations, and promote reflective practices. It is recommended that teachers incorporate collaborative learning strategies and interactive visual media to foster students’ mathematical communication skills, particularly in algebraic contexts.

Abstract

Mathematical modeling plays an essential role in mathematics learning, particularly in developing students analytical and problem-solving skills. Linear programming, as one of the core topics in optimization, often presents conceptual difficulties for students when linking abstract mathematical formulations to real-world problems. This study aims to analyze learning strategies for teaching linear programming through the implementation of mathematical modeling to improve students conceptual understanding and reasoning abilities. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, focusing on literature review and classroom observations related to the used of mathematical models in teaching linear programming. The findings show that incorporating modeling steps-such as problem identification, variable formulation, and interpretation of result-helps students comprehend abstract mathematical ideas more effectively. Moreover, the integration of mathematical modeling encourages active learning and promotes students engagement in solving contextual problems. In conclusion, the use of mathematical modeling as a learning strategy provides a meaningful framework that enhances understanding, crirical thinking, and problem-solving skills in linear programming instruction.

Abstract

Maintaining students learning focus in mathematics presents a critical pedagogical challenge in the digital era, particularly as screen time increases and attention spans decline. This study explores elementary school teachers' experiences in utilizing Smart Board as a strategic tool for managing students' learning focus in mathematics instruction. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews and non-participatory observations were conducted with upper-grade teachers (grades IV and V) at SDN 227 Margahayu Utara who had utilized Smart Board for a minimum of one semester. Data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model with triangulation and member checking for validity. Findings reveal that teachers develop six sophisticated pedagogical strategies: visual-interactive engagement, progressive participation, multimodal variability, content selectivity, rule-based interactivity, and technical anticipation. Teachers integrate dynamic visualization and real-time manipulation of mathematical objects to create anticipatory attention, with optimal session duration of 15-40 minutes to prevent attention fatigue. From an administrative perspective, successful implementation critically depends on comprehensive school support systems, including continuous professional development and responsive technical support. This study confirms that Smart Board effectiveness depends on teachers' pedagogical expertise rather than technological capabilities alone, requiring collaborative commitment between teachers and school administrators for systemic change

Abstract

Quadratic equations are one of the fundamental components of secondary-level mathematics education and serve as a gateway to more advanced topics such as algebra, functions, and calculus. Despite their curricular significance, numerous studies have documented that students consistently experience difficulties in understanding and solving quadratic equations. This study aims to identify and classify the types of students’ learning difficulties related to quadratic equations through a systematic literature review. Using an error analysis framework, this review synthesizes findings from 14 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2024. The inclusion criteria cover studies that specifically examine students’ errors, misconceptions, and learning obstacles at the lower and upper secondary education levels. The review reveals three main categories of student difficulties: (1) conceptual misconceptions, such as a lack of understanding of the standard form or the properties of quadratic roots; (2) procedural errors, including incorrect application of solution methods such as factoring or completing the square; and (3) technical mistakes, such as sign errors and faulty algebraic manipulations. These findings highlight the complexity of learning quadratic equations and the importance of balancing conceptual understanding with procedural fluency in mathematics instruction. The study concludes that the implementation of error-based instructional strategies and diagnostic assessments can promote deeper comprehension and assist educators in identifying specific learning barriers. Implications for curriculum design, instructional practices, and future research directions are also discussed.

Abstract

Abstract There are still problems in learning mathematics, many students consider learning mathematics as a difficult lesson, especially because of the lack of interest in learning mathematics. One of the reasons is the low ability to understand mathematical concepts and students' interest in learning. To overcome this, the researcher applies a problem-based learning model, namely Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in the hope of increasing students' interest and understanding of concepts. The purpose of this study is to measure the ability to understand mathematical concepts and learning interests of participants and analyze the ability to understand mathematical concepts reviewed from their learning interests through arithmetic series material. The study uses a quantitative method with a One-Shot Case Study design, which involves one class (30 people) as the research subject. The research instrument consisted of a description test to measure understanding of mathematical concepts and a questionnaire to measure learning interest. The results of the study showed that students' ability to understand mathematical concepts exceeded the KKTP with an average score of 87.83. 60% of students' learning interest was classified as moderate learning interest, and the results of the ability to understand mathematical concepts with "high" learning interest were 6 students with an average score of 94.16, the ability to understand mathematical concepts with "medium" learning interest as many as 16 students with an average score of 89.72 and the ability to understand mathematical concepts with "low" learning interest as many as 6 students with an average score of 75.80.
