Realistic Mathematics

This research is motivated by the lack of understanding of students' mathematical concepts in mathematics which is caused by a lack of motivation to learn in students and the lack of material connection with everyday life. Mathematics learning really needs to be learned by students because Mathematics has an important purpose to meet practical needs related to the development of students' abilities to use mathematics in everyday life, such as counting which is often experienced by students and can develop the ability to calculate weight. and content. Although Mathematics is considered important to learn, not a few students feel that Mathematics is difficult to master, so it is considered boring and makes students' interest in learning in Mathematics considered low. Based on the PISA annual study survey, the Indonesian Mathematics competency has decreased from 386 points in 2015 to 379 points in 2018 with an OECD average of 489. The benefits of studying Mathematics are used to make transactions in trade. One way to make mathematics more understandable is to use the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach so that students can learn more realistically. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in students' understanding of mathematical concepts using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach and whether there were changes that occurred after the treatment using this approach. This research was conducted with quantitative research methods and the research design of One Groups Pretest-Posttest Design. The subject of this research is class IV with a total of 28 students at SDN Curugrendeng II. The instrument used is a written test with a total of 10 questions. Calculation of data processing using Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and using IBM SPSS Statistics 22 with a significance level of 0.05. The results of this study indicate that there is an increase in students' understanding of mathematical concepts with an average value of 0.691 which is included in the medium category. Thus, the understanding of mathematical concepts of students using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach changes from before the action to the final score after the action. done. And there is an effect of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on students' understanding of mathematical concepts by showing the results of sig.(2-tailed) 0.000 <0.05, which means H_1 is accepted so that this Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach can be applied to learning Mathematics in Primary school.

Ethnomatemics-based mathematics concept implementation can be carried out through constructivism-based learning such as realistic mathematics, problem-based and learning with a scientific approach. This research purpose to explore the form of ethnomatemics on the woven cabbage leaves of the Tutuwaru community and analyze the process of understanding mathematics from the perspective of indigenous people and indigenous knowledge and examine the development of woven form ethnomatatics in school mathematics. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative research. The subjects are 2 members of the weaving community, while the objects of research are Nyiru (winnowing-basket), Topi (hat), Keranjang dan Bakul (basket). The results showed that the form of weaving from a typical local Koli (cabbage) tree, could be connected with several mathematical concepts such as basic geometry and arithmetic. The hexagonal concept based on the understanding of multiples is an "indegious knowledge" that exists in the Tutuwaru community in constructing the form of nyiru-woven, reflection, points, lines and tessellation. These mathematical ideas can be used as context in school mathematics learning

Level Of Thinking

Mathematics has abstract objects. Students experience difficulties in mathematics because of their abstract character. The stage of the level of development of student thinking at the school level is still concrete, therefore we need an approach that is deemed good and appropriate that can overcome the problem or can bridge it with a realistic mathematical approach. This mathematics learning is oriented to experience in everyday life. Realistic Mathematics Approach in learning provides an opportunity for students to discover and reconstruct mathematical concepts, so students have an understanding of mathematical concepts. This learning can be used as an alternative to make mathematics learning more enjoyable which can affect students' mathematical communication. The mathematical communication process of good students can be a means to form effective and communicative learning, especially for elementary students who are in a concrete level of thinking.

In this paper, we explore the challenges experienced by a group of Primary 5 to 6 (age 12–14) students as they engaged in a series of problem-solving tasks through block-based programming. The challenges were analysed according to a taxonomy focusing on the presence of computational thinking (CT) elements in mathematics contexts: preparing problems, programming, create computational abstractions, as well as troubleshooting and debugging. Our results suggested that the challenges experienced by students were compounded by both having to learn the CT-based environment as well as to apply mathematical concepts and problem solving in that environment. Possible explanations for the observed challenges stemming from differences between CT and mathematical thinking are discussed in detail, along with suggestions towards improving the effectiveness of integrating CT into mathematics learning. This study provides evidence-based directions towards enriching mathematics education with computation.
