Abstract

This study aims to see whether or not there is an effect of snowball throwing type cooperative learning method on mathematical communication skills of seventh grade students of SMP Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan. This type of research is a pseudo experiment. The research samples were VII-5 and VII-8 classes totaling 40 students. The data collection technique used is an essay-shaped test of 5 questions that have been tested with pretest and posttest reliability using the Cronbach's alpha formula in the spss application with a significant level of 5% and n = 20 which is then compared to the r table obtained a value of 0.444. It turns out that rcount> rtabel is (0.608>0.444) for the pretest and (0.556>0.444) for the posttest. Data analysis using normality test, homogeneity test and hypothesis testing. The pretest results of the average value of the experimental and control classes were 63.8 and 64.05, respectively. For the posttest results, the average value of the experimental class was 82.75 and the control class was 75.65. The normality test of the pretest and posttest of the experimental and control classes has sig>0.05 and the homogeneity test of the significant value is above 0.05 or sig>0.05, so the experimental class and control class have homogeneous data conditions. For the hypothesis test, a significant value of 0.039 or 0.039 <0.05 was obtained. Thus the researcher concluded that there was an effect of the snowball throwing type cooperative learning method on the mathematical communication skills of SMP Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan.

Abstract

This study aims to determine students' conceptual understanding after using audio-visual media on the topic of integer operations, using five indicators of mathematical conceptual understanding in Class VII 3 at SMP N 7 Padangsidimpuan. This research is qualitative in nature. The data in this study were obtained from direct observations, interviews with teachers, and interviews with students. After the data were collected, they were analyzed using three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and verification or conclusion drawing. Data validity was checked using data source triangulation. The subjects of this study were two Class VII teachers and 26 students from Class VII 3. The results of this study show that after learning using audio-visual media, some students experienced an improvement in their conceptual understanding. This improvement was observed across all indicators of conceptual understanding. Most students demonstrated a good understanding of integer operations, although a small number of students still struggled with this concept.

Abstract

This research aims to determine: (1) students' difficulties in understanding the concept of arithmetic sequences and series, (2) students' difficulties in applying the principles of arithmetic sequences and series in solving problems, and (3) students' difficulties in finding information contained in sequences and arithmetic series questions. arithmetic series using the Make a Match learning model in class XI IPS 1 SMA NEGRI 8 Padangsidimpuan. The research carried out was qualitative research using qualitative descriptive methods. The subjects in this research were students of class XI IPS 1 SMA NEGRI 8 PADANGSIDIMPUAN. Data collection techniques by means of interviews with tests.The results of the research showed that the 4 students who were interviewed and completed the test questions found that the four students had different difficulties in solving sequence and series story questions. In understanding concepts, students who have difficulty will find it difficult to understand the concept of arithmetic sequences and series and will not be able to apply it to story problems for arithmetic sequences and series. When finding the information contained in the problem, students who experience difficulty will find it difficult to find the information and convert the mathematical information into the form of a mathematical model so they will experience difficulty in determining principles or formulas if the information contained in the story is not known beforehand.

Abstract

This class action research aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of the drill method in improving the critical thinking skills of grade VIII students in learning mathematics of chance material. The results showed a significant increase in students' critical thinking skills after the systematic and gradual application of the drill method. The average pre-test score in Cycle I increased from 52.00 to 71.33 with an N-Gain of 0.40 (medium category), and in Cycle II it increased further to 84.67 with an N-Gain of 0.47 (medium category). In addition, the percentage of student learning completeness increased from 53.33% in Cycle I to 86.67% in Cycle II. This improvement was also supported by students' increased active participation, seen from their courage to answer questions, ask questions, and discuss in small groups. Direct feedback from the teacher after practicing the problems also played a role in improving students' thinking processes and supporting the development of metacognition. The drill method proved effective in overcoming students' difficulties in summarizing opportunities, comparing probabilities, and constructing logical arguments based on mathematical data. Although the improvement in critical thinking skills is still moderate, this study shows that the drill method has great potential to be developed in learning mathematics, especially materials that require analysis and reasoning.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of gamification in mathematics learning on the academic achievement of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Padangsidimpuan. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design. The sample consisted of two classes: an experimental group that received gamified instruction and a control group that was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, and the analysis was conducted using parametric statistics, specifically the independent samples t-test. The analysis revealed that the average learning outcome in the experimental group was 83.6, which was higher than that of the control group, which had an average score of 76.2. The prerequisite tests indicated that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The t-test produced a significance value of p = 0.003 < 0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups. The conclusion of this study is that gamified learning has a positive impact on students' mathematics achievement. Gamification enhances student engagement, motivation, and conceptual understanding. Therefore, this strategy is recommended as an innovative approach to mathematics instruction at the junior high school level.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the inquiry method on students' mathematical connection ability in Class X of SMK Swasta Teruna Padangsidimpuan. Mathematical connection ability is an essential competency in mathematics learning that includes students’ ability to connect mathematical concepts, relate mathematics to real-life situations, and apply various mathematical representations. This research is a quasi-experimental study using a Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of two classes: the experimental class, which received treatment using the inquiry method, and the control class, which was taught using conventional methods, with 20 students in each class. The instrument used in this study was a mathematical connection ability test in the form of essay questions that had been validated.The results showed that the average post-test score in the experimental class was 77.05, while in the control class it was 53.90. The independent sample t-test resulted in a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that the inquiry learning method significantly affects the improvement of students’ mathematical connection ability.
