Abstract

Mathematical representation is essential for students’ understanding, especially in probability which requires visual symbolic and verbal interpretation. However many digital worksheets lack integration across these modes. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a multirepresentational electronic worksheet using the Liveworksheets platform to enhance students’ representational skills in probability. The study applied the ADDIE development model which included curriculum analysis expert validation and classroom implementation through a pretest and posttest design. The worksheet combined interactive charts symbolic equations and explanatory prompts into a unified learning experience. Panels of experts consisting of subject-matter specialists media experts and psychometricians validated the content usability and alignment with educational objectives. Students who participated in pilot activities responded positively and reported high levels of engagement. The pretest and posttest results demonstrated improvements in students’ visual symbolic and verbal representation skills. These outcomes indicate that integrating multiple representation modes into a digital learning tool can effectively support deeper conceptual understanding. The study concludes that the developed worksheet is educationally valid engaging for learners and practical for classroom use. It offers a promising approach to support differentiated instruction in mathematics and enrich students’ learning experiences particularly in mastering abstract probability concepts.

Abstract

The integration of cultural heritage into mathematics learning remains underexplored, particularly in the context of Indonesian traditional arts. Existing mathematics curricula often overlook the potential of local cultural artifacts to contextualize abstract mathematical concepts. This study addresses this gap by investigating the mathematical structures embedded within Batik Lampung motifs, highlighting their novelty in representing numerical patterns through culturally significant designs. The primary aim of this research is to explore and analyze mathematical pattern concepts—specifically odd and even arithmetic sequences, square numbers, rectangular numbers, and constant sequences—within the Siger, Gajah, Pucuk Rebung, Sembagi, and Kapal motifs of Batik Lampung, while also uncovering their underlying philosophical meanings. Employing a qualitative ethnographic approach, the study collected data through visual documentation, direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal the presence of arithmetic sequences, square and rectangular number patterns, and constant sequences, each reflecting cultural values such as sustainable growth, balance, perfection, and continuity. These results underscore the potential of Batik Lampung as a meaningful and contextual medium for mathematics instruction. This study contributes to the development of culturally responsive teaching strategies aimed at enhancing students' mathematical understanding and motivation through the incorporation of local cultural heritage.

Abstract

The advancement of technology and the demands of the 21st century require prospective mathematics teachers not only to be proficient in content knowledge but also to possess adaptive computational thinking (CT) skills. This study aims to explore the CT abilities of prospective mathematics teachers based on their cognitive styles, namely field-independent (FI) and field-dependent (FD). A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving four prospective mathematics teachers selected through purposive sampling based on the results of the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT) and their initial CT abilities. Data were collected through CT problem-solving tasks, think-aloud protocols, semi-structured interviews, and direct observations, and were analyzed thematically. The findings reveal that all participants demonstrated competencies in the four dimensions of CT: decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking. FI participants (S1 and S2) tended to exhibit CT with symbolic and reflective characteristics, such as symbolic-structural and reflective-tactical thinking. In contrast, FD participants (S3 and S4) displayed concrete-procedural and exploratory-conceptual CT, emphasizing numerical and contextual strategies. These differences highlight the influence of cognitive styles on the CT tendencies of prospective teachers. This study underscores the importance of developing CT training programs that are adaptive to students’ cognitive styles in order to optimize their potential in mathematical problem-solving. The practical implications support the implementation of differentiated CT instruction that accommodates individual thinking preferences within mathematics teacher education.

Abstract

Creative thinking plays an important role in the development of new ideas in mathematical solutions that are positively correlated with crucial 21st century skills. This study aims to determine the level of students' creative thinking skills in solving numeracy problems. The research subjects consisted of 30 fourth grade elementary school students in Central Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The research method used descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The data collection technique used a written test of 5 questions. The questions were based on the Minimum Competency Assessment (AKM) numeracy test from the Education Assessment Center (Pusmendik). The data test test were analyzed descriptively on the level of creative thinking ability. The results showed that 7% of students reached level 2 in creative thinking, able to solve with original solutions but did not reach fluency or flexibility. Most students reached level 0 and 1 respectively 53% and 40%, the solution did not meet the originality (novelty), fluency, and or flexibility. The low level of creative thinking of elementary school students illustrates that the learning process tends not to be on a new and flexible problem solving process, it is recommended to implement a learning model based on open problem solving or project-based learning that stimulates creative thinking skills.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy constitutes one of the core domains evaluated in an assessment administered by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, referred to as AKMI. This assessment functions as a comprehensive diagnostic tool to identify students’ proficiencies and deficiencies across three key literacy areas: reading, numeracy, and science. This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with fifth-grade students as the subjects. The research instruments included a mathematics ability test, a literacy and numeracy assessment, and semi-structured interview guidelines. The students’ problem-solving processes were analyzed through four stages: understanding the problem, devising a plan, executing the plan, and evaluating the solution. Findings revealed that students with low mathematical ability frequently encountered difficulties in the planning, execution, and evaluation stages, which collectively accounted for 29.4% of the total errors. A smaller proportion (5.88%) struggled with understanding the problem, while another 5.88% did not exhibit notable errors. Students with moderate ability demonstrated errors in the planning, execution, and evaluation phases, each contributing 25% to the overall errors; however, they showed no difficulty in identifying knowns and unknowns in the problems. High-ability students generally solved the problems without major issues, with 62.5% of their responses being accurate and error-free. Geometry-related problems posed the greatest challenge across all ability levels, resulting in a higher incidence of errors.

Abstract

The integration of cultural heritage into mathematics education remains underexplored in the Indonesian educational context, where existing mathematics curricula often overlook the pedagogical potential of local cultural artifacts in contextualizing abstract mathematical concepts. This gap highlights the need for innovative instructional approaches that bridge mathematical understanding with culturally relevant contexts. This study addresses this issue by investigating the mathematical structures embedded in the traditional Indonesian game Bola Bekel, with a particular focus on its potential to represent the concepts of Least Common Multiple (LCM) and Greatest Common Divisor (GCD). The primary objective of this research is to explore the historical value of the game and analyze how its inherent mathematical elements can be leveraged to teach LCM and GCD in a more meaningful and contextualized manner. Employing an ethnographic approach, data were collected through visual documentation, direct observation, semi-structured interviews, and literature review. The findings reveal that bola bekel not only embodies historical and character-building values but also provides a culturally grounded medium for the representation and understanding of key mathematical concepts. These results underscore the potential of traditional games as effective and contextually rich tools in mathematics instruction. This study contributes to the development of culturally responsive teaching strategies aimed at enhancing students' comprehension and motivation in learning mathematics through the meaningful integration of local cultural heritage.

Abstract

Computational thinking (CT) skills are vital for addressing future challenges. The integration of the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) can assist students to foster CT abilities. Furthermore, incorporating technology into education such augmented reality (AR) can improve the quality of the students’ learning experience. Consequently, it is essential to develop a STEAM-AR-based learning module to foster CT abilities. This study seeks to ascertain teachers' perceptions concerning students' CT abilities, attitudes towards STEAM learning principles, attitudes towards the technology integration in mathematics learning, and the need for a STEAM-AR-based mathematics module. An online survey was administered to 105 secondary mathematics teachers in the Sukoharjo District, Indonesia. The findings indicated that the teachers' perceptions were predominantly high. The high-level perceptions suggest that teachers view students as deficient in CT and STEAM-related learning activities. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that the learning process will achieve higher quality by utilizing technology-based learning modules that integrate STEAM. In addition, there is no significant variation in teachers' perceptions based on gender and teaching experience across all perceptions. Finally, the results suggest that in order to improve students' CT abilities, teachers must integrate STEAM and technology into their classroom.

Abstract

Persistent difficulties in learning abstract algebraic concepts—particularly among preservice mathematics teachers—continue to hinder students’ mathematical development. While prior studies have documented general misconceptions, few have grounded their analysis in comprehensive learning theories. Addressing this gap, the present study adopts the APOS (Action, Process, Object, Schema) theoretical framework to examine the cognitive obstacles encountered in understanding logarithmic, matrix, and quadratic function concepts. This qualitative study employed a descriptive case study design involving six preservice mathematics teachers with varying levels of mathematical ability (high, moderate, and low). Data were collected through written responses, semi-structured interviews, classroom observations, and cognitive mapping. The findings revealed that most participants were at the action stage, relying on procedural steps without deep conceptual understanding. Key cognitive obstacles included errors in applying logarithmic properties, difficulties integrating logarithms with matrices, and an inability to perceive systems of equations as unified entities. Group discussions proved effective in helping participants transition through the learning stages. Collaborative interactions enabled participants to identify errors, correct misconceptions, and strengthen conceptual understanding through reflection and validation. Furthermore, the use of visual tools, graphical representations, and real-world contexts supported deeper conceptual integration. This study underscores the importance of implementing APOS-based instructional strategies, including group discussions, exploratory exercises, and problem-based learning, to facilitate transitions between stages. The implications of these findings highlight the need for developing APOS-based diagnostic tools and innovative instructional designs to address cognitive obstacles effectively.

Abstract

The problem in this study is to evaluate the improvement of students' geometry skills using the GeoGebra application by focusing on two key indicators: logical thinking and drawing skills. This study employs both quantitative and qualitative methods. In the first stage, quantitative data were collected through pretests and posttests to measure student geometry skill changes. In the second stage, qualitative methods were used to explore and validate the quantitative findings through geometry skill tasks and interviews. The research subjects were second-semester mathematics education students at Bina Bangsa University, selected using purposive sampling. The findings reveal that students who engaged in geometry learning with GeoGebra experienced significant improvement in both logical reasoning and geometric drawing skills. Students became better at visualizing geometric problems, constructing geometric figures accurately, and connecting visual information to logical reasoning processes. GeoGebra improved students’ ability to identify patterns, perform deductions, draw conclusions, and visually communicate geometric ideas. It is recommended that GeoGebra be complemented with mathematical writing and drawing activities in geometry instruction to strengthen further the logical and visual dimensions of students’ geometric thinking.
