This paper dealt with the design of learning tools, that was the development of learning implementation plan or Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP) based on Fun and Easy Math (FEM) approach in the form of a number line model. FEM was an approach in order to teach mathematics effectively to students in a fun and easy way according to the patterns and rules, making it easier for students to understand mathematical concepts and driving them to actively participate in learning activity. Furthermore, the number line model based on the rules aimed to provide the real idea of mathematical concept and avoid the mathematical manipulation. The design of RPP development was intended to create a new RPP which was divided into three activities, namely introduction, core, and closing. The method of lesson plan development used a Plomp’s development model which was consisted of three phases, namely preliminary research, prototype, and evaluation. The results of this development were expected to help students in understanding the mathematical concepts, namely integer calculation operations especially addition and subtraction, increasing student activeness in learning process, and avoiding the existence of mathematical manipulation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
