Abstract

Mathematics can be found in cultural aspects. Moreover, Indonesia has a variety of cultures that can be explored and used as mathematics learning resources. Existing mathematics learning has yet to integrate cultural elements that are close to students. The aim of this study is to examine the findings of geometric objects and mathematics activities in the Moekhlas Sidik Red Mosque. The research method used was an ethnographic study and data collection techniques in the form of observations, documentation, and interviews. The obtained data were analyzed using an interactive model: data reduction, data presentation, data interpretation, and conclusion. This study found that the geometric objects include 2D shapes, 3D shapes, and geometric transformations. The 2D shapes observed are triangles, trapeziums, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, and semicircles. The 3D shapes that can be observed are rectangular prisms. Geometric transformation is the use of the principles of translation, reflection, and rotation. The mathematical activities that can be explored include creating tile patterns, finding the purpose of tile patterns, and drawing 2D shapes using geometric transformation principles. In addition, the existence of the Moekhlas Sidik Mosque provides socioeconomic value that has an impact on the surrounding community.

Abstract

The constraint on reasoning ability among Indonesian mathematics students is a pressing issue. Several study results show that students' low mathematical reasoning is due to a lack of conceptual understanding of the material being studied. Probability is one of the materials that can help mathematical reasoning. There is a sample space that requires students' reasoning ability to determine all possible outcomes. This study aims to design a microlearning-based learning on probability material using the culinary tourism context of Prabumulih City that is integrated into student worksheet, which is valid and practical to help students learn the probability in phase E and train their reasoning skills by PMRI (Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education). This study was a qualitative method of development study type, consisting of two stages: preliminary study and formative evaluation. The subject of this study was 36 tenth-grade. The data collection techniques were observation, tests, and interviews, which were analyzed descriptively. This research produced a student worksheet that was valid and practical and integrated with microlearning media (comic, video) on probability material using the culinary tourism context of Prabumulih City, Indonesia. Based on data analysis, this worksheet can improve students' conceptual understanding and reasoning abilities.

Abstract

The effectiveness of ChatGPT in enhancing mathematics learning outcomes for students remains a topic of debate despite its growing application in educational settings. This study seeks to assess the impact of ChatGPT on students' understanding of number concepts in mathematics, particularly for 7th-grade junior high school students, by employing a combination of classroom experiments and a control group while gathering students' perspectives on its use. In a mixed-method approach, the quantitative findings indicate that ChatGPT usage does not significantly improve students' academic performance in number concepts. However, qualitative insights from the classroom experiments reveal that students perceived several benefits, such as increased efficiency in studying, better comprehension of number-related problems, enhanced accuracy in solving problems, and assistance in overcoming learning challenges. While ChatGPT did not directly affect academic outcomes, it was found to be a valuable supplementary tool in the learning process. Based on these findings, this study recommends that educators consider incorporating ChatGPT to complement traditional teaching methods to enhance the overall learning experience of number concepts.

Abstract

The National Science Olympiad (NSO) presents significant challenges for most junior high school students. This qualitative study examines the cognitive processes of gold medal-winning students by analyzing their anticipation strategies in solving geometry problems. Employing a descriptive-exploratory approach, we conducted problem-solving tests (using modified NSO geometry questions) and semi-structured interviews with a gold medalist from SMPN 2 Jember. Our findings reveal three distinct anticipation patterns: (1) positive internalized anticipation - intuitive conceptual application yielding correct solutions (e.g., establishing geometric relationships without procedural calculations in Problem 1), (2) negative internalized anticipation - rapid but erroneous assumptions (evident in angle miscalculations in Problem 2), and (3) analytical anticipation - systematic verification through logical reasoning (demonstrated in ∠POR ratio reevaluation). These results provide empirical evidence of how anticipation strategies influence olympiad performance. The study suggests practical interventions including: (1) diagnostic tools for anticipation profiling, (2) teacher training programs to cultivate positive anticipation patterns, and (3) curricular integration of analytical anticipation as metacognitive strategy. For olympiad preparation, we recommend scaffolded problem-solving tasks with structured reflection to transform negative anticipation patterns. Future research should investigate the domain-specificity of these anticipation processes across mathematical disciplines.

Abstract

Saluang musical instruments are unique during manufacturing because they contain mathematical concepts. However, no one has further realized and studied the mathematical concepts of musical instruments. This study aims to explore the relationship between mathematics and Saluang. The results of the exploration are fascinating because mathematical concepts such as arithmetic and geometric series are the most important ones applied during the Saluang manufacturing process. It will also be fascinating to apply in learning to motivate students to learn. The research method used is ethnography. Data were obtained from direct observation, interviews, literature reviews, and documentation. The results obtained from this study are that during the Saluang manufacturing process, there are cultural values ​​and mathematical concepts that include geometry and arithmetic series. Using leaves, cloth, and fingers to determine the distance between holes in making Saluang is a unique mathematical concept. This research can be used as a guideline for teachers in compiling learning devices by paying attention to activities that are very close to students.

Abstract

Creativity is the ability of students to generate new ideas based on their initial situation. The focus of creativity in this study is on mathematical objects that capture students' attention when solving creativity test problems and producing creative solutions. This research aimed to identify student creativity's focus in constructing quadratic functions through pattern generalization. This qualitative case study, grounded in Silver's creativity framework, involved two creative 10th-grade students from a high school in Malang City. Data were gathered through tests and interviews and analyzed using data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion techniques. The findings revealed three focuses of student creativity in constructing quadratic functions through pattern generalization: focusing on intact squares or rectangles in considering the pattern generalization, focusing on separate shapes in considering pattern generalization and focusing on intersecting square shapes in considering pattern generalization. This study has not been conducted before, therefore filling a research gap and laying the foundation for a deeper understanding of how visual patterns foster students' creativity and enhance their comprehension of visual and symbolical quadratic functions.

Abstract

Proportional reasoning is a crucial skill that students need to master to achieve success in learning mathematics at both the elementary and secondary levels. This study aimed to identify the strategies junior high school students used when solving proportional reasoning problems related to ratios and proportions. This qualitative descriptive research was conducted on six seventh-grade students at a junior high school in Belitang, selected through purposive sampling. Data was collected using tests and interviews and analyzed descriptively. Data validity was ensured through triangulation techniques. The findings revealed that students with low abilities used a repeated addition strategy to solve proportional reasoning problems. Meanwhile, students with medium abilities employed the multiplication strategy but occasionally made errors using the additive strategy—students with high abilities predominantly used multiplicative strategies. The study suggests that students with medium abilities do not consistently apply proper proportional reasoning strategies, highlighting a need for further research into their solution approaches. In addition, it is essential to design learning activities that specifically target the improvement of proportional reasoning skills for students with lower abilities, given the critical role this skill plays in mathematics education at both the primary and secondary levels.

Abstract

This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to explore the development of statistical literacy among prospective teachers, which is crucial in today’s data-driven educational landscape. The review synthesizes findings from 18 selected studies published between 2015 and 2024, focusing on various pedagogical approaches, challenges in implementation, and strategies for enhancing statistical literacy instruction. Current approaches and best practices include inquiry-based learning, real-world data applications, and interactive digital tools. These approaches aim to engage prospective teachers in authentic statistical experiences, which can enhance their ability to teach statistical concepts effectively. The study identifies key themes in statistical literacy education using a comprehensive methodology that includes defining research questions and establishing inclusion and exclusion criteria. Key findings reveal four primary research themes: strategies for teaching statistical literacy, competencies needed for prospective teachers, educational contexts, and the role of technology in statistical learning. The review also identifies significant gaps in the existing literature, particularly related to effective curriculum integration and the specific challenges educators face. This SLR contributes to the ongoing discourse on educational statistical literacy, providing a foundation for future research and practical applications in teacher preparation.
