The purpose of this study is to determine the reasoning ability of sixth-grade students in solving basic geometry problems on a flat plane. The subjects of this study were 6 students from 24 students of the Integrated Islamic Elementary School "Al-Mawaddah", representing the leading public and private elementary schools in the city of Semarang. For research on three intellectual abilities, namely intelligent, moderately intelligent, and less intelligent, two students were obtained for each on the recommendation of the homeroom teacher. The research method used is a mixed method, which is a type of research in which a researcher combines elements of a qualitative and quantitative research approach. The data collection techniques were observation, written test, and interview test. The results showed that the research value exceeded the completeness value (= 70). The validity of the data was carried out by triangulation of different times, and valid data were analyzed to draw conclusions. The following is a profile of students' basic geometric reasoning abilities in solving problems as a form of mathematical ability. The results showed that subjects with high, medium, and low abilities met the indicators of ability and basic geometric reasoning skills, including visual, verbal, drawing, logic, and applied skills.

Most of the non-English departments at the tertiary level of education in Bangladesh conduct the English language course for the development of English language skills of the non-English department students. However, the non-English department students at the tertiary level of education in Bangladesh face many troubles in learning the English language efficiently. The purpose of this study was to explore the difficulties encountered by the non-English department students at the tertiary level of education in Bangladesh in learning the English language. This study followed a quantitative research approach. Data collected from 100 non-English department students both from public and private universities of Bangladesh through survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The findings of this study disclosed that the non-English department students face the most difficulty in productive skills (speaking and writing). Moreover, duration of the class and semester, syllabus design, needs analysis, classroom techniques, and methods are the significant factors that affect the English language learning of the non-English department students.

This study was designed to (1) test the feasibility of teaching topics in probability and statistics to a class of sixth-grade students and (2) construct a set of instructional materials and procedures in probability and statistics for sixth-grade students. From a content outline and task analysis, the behavioral objectives for the unit of instruction and the order in which objectives would be taught were decided upon. An instructional analysis of the unit was then undertaken. Using results from a pilot, a set of lessons were developed and used in teaching a class of 25 sixth-grade students. By employing the results from a pre- and post-criterion-referenced test, the feasibility of teaching the unit was demonstrated.

This study examined sex differences in quantitative ability, attitude toward arithmetic, and locus of control as variables that may affect mathematical learning. Subjects were 48 fifth and sixth grade students in one school. Intellectual ability and mathematical achievement levels were controlled. Independent group comparisons with sex and mathematical achievement grade level were examined to determine if significant differences existed between groups. Significant differences were evident on only a single comparison. Subjects below grade level in mathematics scored significantly lower than those at grade level on the operations portion of the Stanford Diagnostic Arithmetic Test.
