Abstract

Creative thinking is one of the skills that must be possessed by students in the 21st century. This study aims to investigate and describe students' creative thinking skills in completing the Cartesian Coordinate Skills Task (CCST). This research was conducted in one of the public junior high schools in Jambi City. The research subjects were six 8th grade junior high school students who have learnt by product differentiate instruction. The research subjects were divided into 3 categories based on the results of the Knowledge Question (KQ), namely high, medium, and low. Students' creative thinking skills were tested through CCST and the results were analyzed based on creative thinking indicators. The results of this study indicate that each subject tends to be able to show aspects of fluency and flexibility, but only three subjects are able to show aspects of novelty. In addition, from the three subjects, there is 1 subject in the low category who is able to show the novelty aspects

Abstract

In the present text, we present some possibilities to formalize the mathematical content and a historical context, referring to a numerical sequence of linear and recurrent form, known as Sequence of Padovan or Cordonnier. Throughout the text some definitions are discussed, the matrix approach and the relation of this sequence with the plastic number. The explicit exploration of the possible paths used to formalize the explored mathematical subject, comes with an epistemological character, still conserving the exploratory intention of these numbers and always taking care of the mathematical rigor approached

Abstract

This study aims to investigate and describe how creative thinking skills and problem-solving strategies are used by prospective mathematics teacher students in solving non-routine problems. Non-routine problems given to the subject require the use of mathematical conceptual understanding and procedural knowledge or algorithms used to find solutions to solve them. The results of the analysis of student-teacher solutions show that each student uses at least two problem-solving strategies. The most frequently used strategies are using algebraic manipulation, making logical reasoning with diagrams/models, and trial and error. Students with high categories show proficiency in using appropriate problem-solving strategies and students with lower categories still show an introduction to solving strategies so that they are confused about choosing the right strategy for a particular problem.

Abstract

This study was conducted to answer the question, "What is the description of the mathematical critical thinking ability of middle school students in Tidore city based on gender and background?". This question is essential to answer because it is motivated by the mathematical performance of students in Tidore is low nationally and is reinforced by the results of the 2015 and 2018 PISA and OECD surveys. Gender is used as a distinguishing factor because this factor is still culturally rooted in this area and affects the role of society in life socially. Tidore comprises three significant communities, namely coastal, urban, and mountainous communities, each of which has a unique pattern of social life. Therefore, researchers also use "background" as a distinguishing factor. Data collection was carried out in three schools representing the three communities using a questionnaire, math problems (arithmetic, geometry, algebra), and semi-structured interviews on two subjects (male and female) in each location. The results of the analysis show, based on gender and background the ability of students to think critically mathematically are categorized as sufficient (close to less) with a mathematical critical thinking (MCT) achievement ratio of  0.27. Male subjects had an achievement ratio of 0.3 (sufficient) higher than female subjects of  0.24 (insufficient). Based on the background subjects from urban areas had the highest MCT achievement ratio of 0.49 (sufficient) while the subject achievement ratio of the coast and mountains were 0.17 (insufficient) and 0.15 (insufficient), respectively.

Abstract

Islamic-based educational institutions needed to internalize Qur’an and hadith in every lesson. Fractions were one of the main subjects of mathematics taught at the elementary school level. The purpose of the study was to design mathematics learning to fractions based on Qur’an and hadith at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah. This study used a qualitative research method with a design research approach of development research type. The results of the study revealed that a learning design could be implemented with a scientific learning approach in fractions learning based on Qur’an and hadith. The verses of the Qur’an and hadith that explicitly mentioned fractional numbers were displayed at the observing stage. Each fractional number in the Qur’an and hadith was illustrated with a length model. Based on the fractional numbers mentioned in the observing stage, students were then directed to submit nutmeg questions in the questioning stage. The questions at the questioning stage were appropriate to the material, then discussed at the reasoning stage while still applying student-centered learning.

Abstract

This study aims to describe students' difficulties in solving numerical patterns in the context of the Toba Batak ethnic culture after the implementation of the Realistics Mathematic Education Approach in the context of the Toba Batak Tribe Culture. Subjects in this study were students of class VIII Junior High School (SMP) totaling 32 people. The data collection tool used in this study is a test that totals ten questions in the form of a description. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection techniques are carried out by tests, observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques were carried out by data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results showed that students had difficulty determining the sequence of numbers, determining the configuration of a sequence of numbers, determining the arithmetic series, determining the number of n first arithmetic series terms, determining the first term n row geometry, and determine the number of n first terms of the geometry series. The causal factor is that students are not able to distinguish the general formula concept of a sequence and the concept of configuration patterns from a sequence of numbers, operating error calculations and not understanding integer ranks.
