Core Subject : Education,
Polyhedron International Journal in Mathematics Education (PIJME) journal aims to stimulate discussions at all levels of mathematics education through disseminating significant and innovative scholarly studies that are of value to the international research communities. The journal welcomes articles focusing on all aspects of mathematics education including empirical, theoretical, methodological, and philosophical works that have a perspective wider than local or national interest. PIJME publishes only original scholarly works. Manuscripts that are indeed a derivative or replication/duplication (if there is not clear reason, justification) of previous work are not accepted and will not be published in PIJME. Please do not submit the same manuscript simultaneously or separately to PIJME with another journal. In such cases the responsibility solely rests with the author(s).

Abstract

This study aims to develop a learning medium in the form of a game used for practice questions through PUME in the Solid Geometry topic to optimize creative thinking abilities. The method used in this study is Research and Development (R&D) with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The participants for evaluating the feasibility of PUME included 4 media experts and 3 content experts consisting of lecturers and teachers, while the participants for assessing effectiveness were eighth-grade junior high school students from Cianjur district. The data collection techniques used in this study were a test of students' creative mathematical thinking abilities and expert judgment (validation by media experts, content experts, and student responses). The data analysis techniques used in this study involved qualitative data analysis (data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing) and quantitative data analysis in the form of percentage validation by media experts, content experts, and student responses using random sampling. The results of the study on the development of PUME as a learning medium for the Solid Geometry topic in the form of an educational game show that it can optimize students' creative mathematical thinking abilities. The feasibility level of PUME was rated as “very feasible,” and the effectiveness of PUME was classified as “effective” for implementation in mathematics learning for the Solid Geometry topic in junior high schools. As for students' creative mathematical thinking abilities, 45% of the students were nearly able to optimize their abilities.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify and analyze the difficulties experienced by teachers in teaching Mathematics to XI-grade students. The research used a qualitative approach to examine the challenges faced by teachers in teaching Mathematics to IX-grade students. The participants in this study included two mathematics teachers and 32 eighth-grade students. The results of the study showed that teachers faced difficulties in several aspects, including a lack of understanding of basic concepts, difficulties in applying concepts, lack of motivation, lack of parental support, and insufficient skills in using mathematical tools. To address these challenges, teachers implemented various effective teaching strategies, such as project-based learning, computer-based learning, and group-based learning. These strategies helped students better understand mathematical concepts and increased their motivation to learn mathematics. It was also important for teachers to show the connection between mathematics and students' daily lives, so they could see the relevance of mathematics in their lives. Teachers sought assistance and developed their skills in information technology to improve the quality of Mathematics instruction. The importance of teaching mathematics lay in the way teachers engaged students, ensuring they were motivated and interested in learning mathematics by linking the material to real-life situations, creating interactive and engaging lessons, and building positive relationships with students. Teachers adopted innovative strategies such as project-based learning, computer-based learning, and real-life applications to enhance students’ understanding and motivation in mathematics. Additionally, professional development programs and stronger collaboration with parents were essential to effectively address teaching challenges.

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to analyze the impact of the Photomath application on students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. This study employed a systematic literature review method using the PRISMA approach, where relevant articles were There were 5 articles that were further analyzed. collected and analyzed following the PRISMA flowchart. The results revealed various research methodologies used in studies involving Photomath, publication trends in recent years, and evidence of its influence on enhancing students' problem-solving skills. Based on these findings, it was recommended that teachers integrate the Photomath application as a supplementary tool in mathematics learning to help students understand and solve complex mathematical problems effectively.

Abstract

This study analyzed the errors made by high school students in solving statistics problems based on Newman's Error Theory. Statistics is a complex topic that requires accuracy and precision, leading to frequent errors in problem-solving. This research employed a qualitative approach using test questions and interviews to identify the causes of errors. The research subjects were eleventh-grade students who met the criteria of making errors in the predetermined indicators. Data analysis was conducted through three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that reading errors were minimal and did not significantly affect problem-solving, while comprehension errors occurred due to students’ lack of understanding of the problem statement. Transformation errors arose when students struggled to convert word problems into mathematical expressions, and process skill errors were observed when students performed incorrect calculations. Encoding errors occurred when students failed to write the final answer, provided incorrect final answers, or drew inaccurate conclusions. These findings indicated the need for targeted instructional strategies to address specific types of student errors. Teachers should have emphasized improving problem comprehension, enhancing mathematical translation skills, and strengthening students' ability to perform accurate calculations. By addressing these issues, educators could have supported students in developing a more structured and precise approach to solving statistical problems, ultimately improving their overall mathematical proficiency.

Abstract

One of the mathematical topics closely related to real-life problems is sequences and series, which are used to model and predict various phenomena and patterns. This material helps enhance students' abilities in applying mathematical formulas accurately in everyday contexts. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness of digital-based learning media in supporting students' understanding of sequences and series. A simple descriptive quantitative method was employed, focusing on evaluating the media's effectiveness through basic statistical analysis. The results indicate that digital-based learning media are effective in facilitating students’ comprehension of sequences and series material. These findings suggest that such media can be utilized in mathematics instruction to improve learning outcomes. However, further research is needed to evaluate the efficiency of this approach in broader learning contexts and to explore how it can be integrated with other instructional media to enhance students' overall academic performance. The implication of this research is that teachers should consider incorporating digital tools to complement traditional methods in teaching mathematical concepts. Additionally, curriculum developers are encouraged to design interactive and accessible digital content that aligns with students’ learning needs and technological habits.
