This research is an experimental research which aims to describe the effectiveness of the methaporical thinking approach to improve the mathematical representation ability of class VIII SMPN 2 Toari. In addition, it also aims to determine how much students are engaged in the learning process when applying the methaporical thinking approach. The research subjects were divided into two groups, namely the experimental group taught using the methaporical thinking approach and the control group taught by conventional learning. The results showed that students who were taught with a methaporiical thinking approach were more active in the learning process so that the ability of representation also increased. In addition, it was found that mean of mathematical representation ability of students taught using the approach of methaporical thinking was better than students taught with conventional learning. Therefore, the approach of methaporical thinking is able to improve the mathematical representation ability of class VIII SMPN 2 Toari

This guidance intends to provide guidance to class students of elementary school 1 Lamokato in using the Jarimatika method. This guidance is carried out because it is motivated by the low numeracy literacy of students at elementary school 1 Lamokato. This has an impact on the low ability of students to count. Therefore, guidance is needed for students using a different method from the method used by teachers at elementary school 1 Lamokato. This training was carried out from June to August 2022 at elementary school 1 Lamokato. The methods used in this training are demonstration methods, question and answer, and practice using the Jarimatika method. The students were very enthusiastic during the training. Students are interested in using the Jarimatika method. Students actively ask and answer about the Jarimatika method. Each student practices the method of Jarimatika in front of the class. The result of this training activity is that there is an increase in students' numeracy literacy in this case the ability to count.

This study aims to compare student perceptions of online, offline, and blended learning involving 28 students from the 2018 batch of Mathematics Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Sembilanbelas November Kolaka University as research subjects. The data were collected by non-test using a questionnaire instrument of student perceptions including online, offline, and blended learning as many as 23 statement items followed by interviews related to student perceptions. The results of this study indicate that the mean student perception of learning is positive with the following details: (1) the mean percentage of student perceptions of online learning is 77.92%; (2) the mean percentage of students' perceptions of offline learning (face-to-face) is 82.86%; and (3) the mean percentage of students' perceptions of blended learning is 73.98%.
