The aim of this research was to observe the effectiveness of geogebra based van hiele model on mathematical disposition assessed from early mathematics ability. The accessible population of the present study was students of Prof. DR. HAMKA Muhammadiyah University. Samples of this research is semester two students from mathematics education program. Due to the happening Covid-19 pandemic, the present study was conducted online. The method employed was quasi-experiment using factorial treatment by level 2 × 2 design. The data were collected with mathematical disposition questionnaire and early mathematics ability instrument. After the data were collected, they were then analyzed with two-way ANAVA analysis. The result showed that there was no significant difference in the increase mathematical disposition of students who are given the learning model and early mathematics ability. The conclusion obtained is that the geogebra based Van Hiele Model is ineffective on students’ mathematical disposition in terms of their early mathematics abilitiy. This is due to several factors, namely internal factors and external factors. The internal factors are decreas in the score of mathematical disposition from pretest to posttest, lack of understanding applying geogebra software with online learning. External factors are quotas and poor internet network.

Even though mathematics is considered one of the most abstract domains of human cognition, recent work on embodiment of mathematics has shown that we make sense of mathematical concepts by using insights and skills acquired through bodily activity. Fingers play a significant role in many of these bodily interactions. Finger-based interactions provide the preliminary access to foundational mathematical constructs, such as one-to-one correspondence and whole-part relations in early development. In addition, children across cultures use their fingers to count and do simple arithmetic. There is also some evidence for an association between children’s ability to individuate fingers (finger gnosis) and mathematics ability. Paralleling these behavioral findings, there is accumulating evidence for overlapping neural correlates and functional associations between fingers and number processing. In this paper, we synthesize mathematics education and neurocognitive research on the relevance of fingers for early mathematics development. We delve into issues such as how the early multimodal (tactile, motor, visuospatial) experiences with fingers might be the gateway for later numerical skills, how finger gnosis, finger counting habits, and numerical abilities are associated at the behavioral and neural levels, and implications for mathematics education. We argue that, taken together, the two bodies of research can better inform how different finger skills support the development of numerical competencies, and we provide a road map for future interdisciplinary research that can yield to development of diagnostic tools and interventions for preschool and primary grade classrooms.
