NCTM's Standards documents (1989, 2000) call for increased attention to the development of mathematical reasoning at all levels. In order to accomplish this, teachers need to be attentive to their students' reasoning and aware of the kinds of reasoning that they observe. For teachers at the early elementary level, this may pose a challenge. Whatever explicit discussion of mathematical reasoning they might have encountered in high school and university mathematics courses could have occurred some time ago and is unlikely to have included the reasoning of children. The main intent of this article is to give teachers examples of ways to reason mathematically so that they can recognize these kinds of reasoning in their own students. This knowledge can be beneficial both in evaluating students' reasoning and in evaluating learning activities for their usefulness in fostering reasoning.

Several years ago. if a computer was available in a chool district. it was located at the high school—only to be used by students taking upperlevel mathematics courses. With advances in technology, the microcomputer i now affordable to most school systems. The added status of having microcomputers at the elementary level has led many administrators to purchase such unit for their schools. What better way to impres the voting public!

PurposeThe relationship between phonological awareness, overall language, vocabulary, and nonlinguistic cognitive skills to decoding and reading comprehension was examined for students at 3 stages of literacy development (i.e., early elementary school, middle school, and high school). Students with histories of speech sound disorders (SSD) with and without language impairment (LI) were compared to students without histories of SSD or LI (typical language; TL).MethodIn a cross-sectional design, students ages 7;0 (years;months) to 17;9 completed tests that measured reading, language, and nonlinguistic cognitive skills.ResultsFor the TL group, phonological awareness predicted decoding at early elementary school, and overall language predicted reading comprehension at early elementary school and both decoding and reading comprehension at middle school and high school. For the SSD-only group, vocabulary predicted both decoding and reading comprehension at early elementary school, and overall language predicted both decoding and reading comprehension at middle school and decoding at high school. For the SSD and LI group, overall language predicted decoding at all 3 literacy stages and reading comprehension at early elementary school and middle school, and vocabulary predicted reading comprehension at high school.ConclusionAlthough similar skills contribute to reading across the age span, the relative importance of these skills changes with children's literacy stages.

Covid-19 pandemic outbreak not only hits education in kindergarten, elementary level, junior high school, senior high school, and university, but also it hits education in islamic boarding school throughout Indonesia. New Normal is a change in behavior to continue carrying out activities normally but with the addition of implementing health protocols to prevent Covid-19 transmission.This research uses an exploratory case study. The approach uses descriptive qualitative research methods used to obtain information content on the readiness of Pondok Pesantren Nurul Qarnain in carrying out teaching and learning process in the time of Covid-19 pandemic. Teaching and learning activities have been carried out at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Qarnain, by following the health protocol. The advantage of this system is there is no reduction in the learning system. The implementation of teaching and learning activities for students at the pesantrean remains in accordance with curriculum standards. because of the configuration of the board students.

The background of the research is the low assessment of high order thinking skills of students due to the conventional methods used by the school. The aims of this study are: (1) how student learning activities when using hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw, (2) how student learning activities when taught using the direct learning model, and (3) the effect of hybrid learning Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) and jigsaw towards high order thinking skills. This study used a quasi experimental nonequivalent control group design with the sample of 50 students from a population of vocational high school students in Ponorogo. Data collection techniques used instruments in the form of high order tests and non-test instruments in the form of observation sheets. Data analysis used was independent sample t-test. The results showed: (1) the use of Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw made 28% of students were very active, 28% of students active, and 44% of students quite active in the learning process, this was evidenced by an average value of 70.56, (2) the use of direct learning models in learning made 24% of students quite active, 36% of students less active, and 40% of students passive in the learning process, which can be seen from the acquisition of an average value of 51.52, and (3) there was a significant effect of Student Learning Achievement Division (STAD) based on hybrid learning and jigsaw on students' high order thinking skills.

Hidden curriculum is an integral part of the implementation of the education system. The existence of a hidden curriculum is absolutely necessary as a means of transfering positive character values to students. This study aims to determine the shape and implementation of hidden curriculum at Ehipassiko High School as one of the schools characterized by Buddhism. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The data collection technique of this study uses observation, interviews, and documentation. The result of the study show that the hidden curriculum that appears in actual curriculum practice is reflected in learning activities such as: (a) the initial, core, and final activities of learning, (b) attached to all subjects; (c) student attitudes and comliance, and (d) exemplary teacher. Hidden curriculum in the learning process has a function as a tool and methid to increase the repertoire of students knowledge as well as a melting atmosphere of learning, resenting a respected and interesting teahing educator mode, so as to arouse students interest in learning. This research is expected to be an input for Ehipassiko Hidh School n particular and Buddhist schools in general to improve the quality of good Buddhist education.

The objectives of the study are (1) to produce student worksheets based on APOS Theory for Math lessons in Class X Senior High School which is in line with the 2013 Curriculum; (2) to evaluate the effectivity of the student worksheets based on APOS Theory, in terms of the activity and result of learning Matrix. The results of the study are (1) the development of the worksheets (according to APOS Theory) were carried out through five stages, namely, analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation; (2) the assessments performed by media experts, material specialists and subject teachers showed that the worksheets developed are feasible and could be used for students of Class X Senior High School; (3) the responses given by the students towards the worksheets were good; (4) the effectivity of the learning was elevated; it was shown by the increased learning activities of the students and the higher average score of the test (87.14), compared to the minimum criterion of completeness of 75.
