In project-based learning, pupils have two central learning objectives: to understand the content of the subject and to develop their twenty-first-century skills. This article concerns the use of project work in mathematics learning, considered here in the context of the Finnish national core curriculum, mathematical proficiency, and pupils’ previous level of attainment. The research consisted of two case studies in which a coordinate system project and a statistics project were tested with secondary school pupils (N=59+58). The main findings show it is possible to study the mathematics of the curriculum and to develop all types of mathematical proficiency using project work. Additionally, the pupils’ grades on the project work correlate positively with their overall grades in mathematics.

This research is motivated by the lack of interest of teachers in the use of props in the process of learning mathematics in elementary school. In accordance with the demands of the curriculum in 2013 and supported by the developed learning theory, learning mathematics is abstract object of study, students need an intermediary that props math-ematics, so that students can more easily understand the concepts that will be pre-sented, and in the end it can deliver students to solve mathematical problems, not only that proposed by the teacher but also the problems in life. The purpose of this study was to determine the interest of prospective elementary teachers on the use of props mathematics after getting lectures media and elementary mathematics learning model. By knowing the interest of prospective elementary teachers will be developed further realization of the state of the subject being studied. The method used is descriptive research, then the instruments used were questionnaires and interviews. The results of this study stated that the interest of prospective elementary teachers on the use of props after attending lectures media and elementary mathematics learning model is high over-all with a percentage of 76.70%.Keywords : Interest, Props Mathematics

Abstract: This study aims to determine the ability of students in solving non-routine problems in learning mathematics in high school. The focus of the study is the ability of students in solving non-routine problems that include the value of objectism, value of control, value of mystery, value of progress, value of rationalism, and value of openness. The subject of this study was determined purposively, that was based on the diversity of answers. The selected subject was six students of class X SMA in Palembang. The data were collected using observation, test, and interview which were then analyzed descriptively. The results show that in general the ability of students in solving non-routine problems is dominated by the value of objectism, control, rationalism, and progress. The other two values which did not dominantly appear were mystery and openness. Keywords: mathematical value, non-routine problemNILAI MATEMATIKA (MATHEMATICAL VALUE) SISWA PADA PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA MENGGUNAKAN SOAL NON RUTIN Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal non rutin pada pembelajaran matematika di SMA.

The purpose of this study is to describe and determine the learning design, learning implementation, learning evaluation, the obstacles encountered during learning also efforts to overcome these obstacles for children with dyscalculia in Elementary School 01 Limau Manis. In this research, researcher uses descriptive qualitative method. The subject in this study is mathematic teacher. In this study, researcher used observation , interview and documentation as the technique of data collection. Results obtained in this study are the design of learning mathematics which is consists of Lesson plan and syllabus in accordance with the curriculum. The implementation of mathematics learning carried out for seven hours in a week. The implementation of learning includes 3 phases namely introduction, core activity and closing activity. Learning evaluation is done after the lesson ended by a written test form. The preparation of the program teacher did not experiencing problems, but other Teacher's constraints came during the learning, namely classroom management, during the learning process there are students who pay attention and some of them are did not  pay attention. Teacher's effort to overcome these obstacles is giving more attention to their students.

The article discusses the integrated process of learning mathematics at secondary school. The content of teaching mathematics must be arranged in such a way that the student develops an overall understanding of the world. The aim of the article is to emphasize the depth of comprehension of the content of the subject of the student’s interest, because based on the understanding of the content of the subject, new knowledge will be integrated and new skills will be developed that the student will be able to transfer to other subjects by solving problem situations. The topicality of the article is related to the integration approach, that the main focus is not to focus on the content of the subjects of mathematics and physics, but on the scientific processes that unite the contents of these subjects. Theoretical basis of the research is the system theory, which is based on the approach of learning cognition and constructivism. In the research, students' complex tests and questionnaires with open questions were used for data acquisition. The article uses a case study design to analyse data.

Metacognitive Strategies have always played a vital role in teaching learning process. Mathematical learning is solely based on these strategies. Several metacognitive approaches have been adopted by teachers to elevate the learning levels of students in mathematics. The basic feature of mathematics learning is to enable human mind to think logically. Mind mapping provides the students enough space to think about his thinking while learning mathematics. In this study the investigator aims find the answer for the question that how the learning levels of students can be augmented using Mind mapping as a metacognitive approach? For this an Experiment was conducted on secondary school students of Sangrur district in Punjab. This paper provides a brief overview of the study.

This study aims to determine the use of a PMRI (Realistic Mathematics Education Indonesia) on mathematics learning can enhance students' understanding of the sum of fractions in grade V SDN 28 Kota Parepare. This study uses kualitiatif approach, this type of research is action research class that is located in SDN 28 Kota Parepare. Site selection based on the consideration of researchers looked at the implementation of a realistic approach to learning mathematics in primary schools has not been applied. TOD study procedures that (1) Perrencanaan, (2) Implementation, (3) observation, (4) reflection. Data collection techniques used in this study include (1) observation, (2) documentation, (3) interviews, (4) tests. Data analysis is an effort to improve student learning outcomes with the implementation of realistic mathematics approach. The results on initial tests showed that students' ability to understand the subject matter is still lacking in that category, after learning showed a significant increase with the evaluation results on the cycle I was on a qualifying well (B), continued research on the cycle II because researchers are not satisfied with the results obtained in cycle I, the evaluation results on the second cycle showed a significant increase in the category of very good results. This shows that the application of realistic mathematics approach can improve learning outcomes of students in the SDN 28 Kota Parepare.

This study sets out to discuss the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in a large EFL secondary school setting. It aims at finding an alternative of how to implement PjBL for the purpose of taking more benefits of project works and analyzing the relevance of the implementation of which within an EFL secondary school large class. 41 learners of grade XI participated in the classroom action research. They are assigned to work in groups with a set of meaningful processes to do in every project work given within a period of time. The study found that project works can be maximized on the grounds that: (1) projects should be based on realistic and challenging tasks; (2) project should be structured within a set of meaningful processes; (3) project works are to be conducted collaboratively in groups to facilitate learners to learn in a large class.
