Abstract

The concept of surface area for flat shapes is often perceived as a challenging mathematical topic among elementary school students. In fact, the context of tourism can be integrated into the learning of geometry, for example, the topic of surface area. The objective of this study is to develop a learning trajectory that enhances problem-solving skills with respect to surface area problems in the context of Bukit Sulap, a tourism destination in Lubuklinggau City. The design research methodology, which included a validation study, was implemented in three stages: preparation and design, experimental teaching, and retrospective analysis. The subjects of this study were 27 elementary school students in Lubuklinggau City, Indonesia. The instruments utilized in this study included surface area problem solving task sheets, video recordings of in-depth interviews conducted during the learning process, field notes, and observation sheets. The findings of the study indicate that learning trajectories designed within the context of Bukit Sulap facilitate students' comprehension of problems, formulation of problem-solving strategies, implementation of these strategies, and interpretation of the results of problem-solving processes. The activities included in the learning trajectory are as follows: defining the contextual problem; self-review; designing a resolution plan; implementing the resolution plan; and establishing a mathematical model regarding surface area within the context used. Through the use of tourism as a context, students are expected to be able to solve surface area problems and learn the principles of surface area of flat shapes. This learning approach is an effective technique for improving problem-solving skills regarding surface area.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy is a fundamental skill that enables students to solve real-life problems, think critically, and make informed decisions across various contexts. Its absence can impede students' academic success and limit their ability to address challenges in a technology-driven world, underscoring the importance of this research in enhancing their future opportunities. A significant factor contributing to this issue is the inadequate implementation of teaching practices that support mathematical literacy in schools. To address this challenge, this study aims to develop a valid, practical, and impactful mathematical literacy learning environment for junior high school students using educational game assistance. A design research method with a developmental research approach was employed, consisting of three stages: the preliminary stage, prototype development, and evaluation. The data were analyzed through qualitative descriptive analysis. This study developed a mathematical literacy learning environment leveraging educational game technology to enhance student learning. The environment was validated in terms of content, construct, and language aspects, deemed practical for its ease of use, accessibility, flexibility, and alignment with learning objectives, and evaluated for its potential impact based on Guskey's five-levels framework. The results highlight its potential impact on improving mathematical literacy and addressing the challenges posed by inadequate teaching practices in schools. This research underscores the importance of integrating innovative educational tools to better prepare students for success in a technology-driven world.

Abstract

The effectiveness of visualization tools in enhancing mathematical visual thinking skills, particularly for quadratic functions, remains underexplored. This study evaluates the impact of quadratic graph visualization worksheets on these skills using Time-Series and PCA Clustering approaches. The research involved 60 first-year Calculus students focusing on quadratic functions. A quantitative methodology was applied, with Time-Series analysis tracking score changes over time and PCA Clustering grouping students based on improvement patterns. Results revealed significant variations in score changes after using the worksheets. The highest positive score change reached 19 points, while PCA Clustering identified three student groups: minimal or negative changes (Cluster 0), moderate improvements (Cluster 1), and significant increases (Cluster 2). The findings demonstrate the potential of quadratic graph visualization worksheets to improve mathematical visual thinking skills, though the degree of enhancement varies across individuals. This research highlights the need for instructional tools that accommodate diverse learning trajectories and provides insights into the effectiveness of graph-based methods in mathematics education. It also advocates for refined analytical approaches in evaluating student learning outcomes.

Abstract

Fraction division is considered one of the most difficult concepts in learning fractions. This study aims to investigate students’ understanding of fraction division through a partition division conceptualization, utilizing their understanding of fractions as parts of a whole. To achieve this, we designed a hypothetical learning trajectory, in which students engaged with incomplete partition task. This article reports on a two-week design research intervention involving 21 fifth-grade students. The students’ written works, transcripts of teaching experiment recordings, and observational notes were retrospectively analyzed to examine the hypothetical learning trajectory. The study revealed that the students’ primary challenge was recognizing the correct whole during the teaching experiment. This study suggests that incorporating a stronger focus on proportional reasoning and varying fraction sizes in instructional approaches may help address this obstacle.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate an intervention in the application of the Butterfly Method Algorithm with the Bar Model Concept on the addition and subtractions of Fractions to Year 9 students in one of the Government secondary schools in Brunei Darussalam. The Butterfly Method is an alternative visual method for teaching fractions where the diagonal and horizontal multiplication of the denominators and numerators are employed by drawing the Butterfly. A mixed-method approach was used to explore the impact of the intervention with data gathered from the students’ written pre- and post-tests and interview transcripts. The tests conducted before and after the intervention were used to analyze students’ errors and misconceptions. The students’ written analyses of the post-test results revealed that not all of the students applied the Butterfly Method. A few students were selected for interviews in order to gain deeper insights into how they developed the errors and misconceptions from both tests. Findings from the students’ interview transcripts revealed they were not confident with the Butterfly Method, and they needed more time to be familiar with the concept. Another factor for not applying the Butterfly Method is due to students’ confusion on subtracting fractions that has the same denominators as well as subtracting a proper fraction from a whole number. This study concluded that students who applied the Butterfly Method helped them to remember the new method from the intervention satisfactorily in comparison to those who lack the confidence in applying it.

The research subjects were two students taken using purposive sampling. The instrument used was the Test of Logical Operations and problem-solving tests. Stages of data analysis used are researching all data, making a cognitive classification of students, choosing concrete students to be used as research subjects, reviewing the results of concrete student work in solving mathematical problems, verify data and data sources that have been classified and transcribed in the presentation or exposure of data. The results showed that at the stage of understanding the problem and re-checking the answers, concrete students use the assimilation at the stage of planning to solve the problem of doing the disequilibration. At the stage of carrying out a plan to solve a problem, concrete students carry out the accommodation. During this study, it was found that students 'habits in mathematical problem-solving did not plan to solve problems, did not re-examine answers, and there were students' habits by interpreting the final results of problems. It can be concluded that the students' concrete thinking processes in solving two- dimensional problems vary according to the stages of problem-solving.

Abstract

Reasoning that is constructed from remembering is imitative reasoning, while the opposite is creative reasoning. This study aims to explore creative mathematical reasoning in solving geometric problems. Mathematical creative reasoning is reasoning that contains elements of novelty, plausibility, and mathematical foundation. This type of research is descriptive qualitative, which is explorative. The research subjects were the first-semester student in the mathematics education study program with 32 students. The results showed that from 32 students, there was only one student identified as having creative mathematical reasoning in solving geometry problems. Creative mathematical reasoning can be identified when the subject is able to reason algorithmically but is aware of problems so they cannot be resolved algorithmically so that they must form new reasoning, which consists of novelty, plausibility, and mathematical foundation. Creative mathematical reasoning arises after students make an algorithmic reasoning process, but find no solution. Novelty is the weakest indicator of creative mathematical reasoning, so it requires scaffolding to bring it up.
