Abstract. Excellent class students represent students who are considered to have higher intelligence than their peers. The students have to join the exam before, so the school can map the level of their cognitive abilities. Apart from the seriousness of learning, the intelligence possessed by excellent students is inseparable from the existence of parental support. This research supports to see how the form of parental support for students. Data collection is done by collecting questionnaires for students and also parents of students at Al-Falah Islamic Elementary School in Jambi city. Questionnaires have been processed are completed qualitatively so that the data obtained is descriptive. The results of questionnaire analysis are there are various kinds of assistance provided by parents to students, some of them provide a comfortable learning place, consider the needs of children and support every effort undertaken by children. Keywords: excellent class, learning motivation, parental support

Students’ mistakes in solving the mathematical word problem is still a problem so it must be identified for each stage of solving. It is done so that the solutions offered are more effective. One way to identify the stage of solving of mathematical problem is the Newman Error Analysis stage. So the purpose of this research is to describe the ability of students of Islamic Junior High School to solve mathematical problems in the form of word problem and to describe the mistakes of high-ability Islamic High School students in mathematical word problem based on Newman Error Analysis. The approach used is qualitative descriptive. The research subject is the high-ability in Islamic Junior High School of Jambi City. Students are asked to work on solving questions in the form of word problems. Then the student interviewed about the mistakes that were made when solving the word problems given for each of the stages. The results showed 56% of high-ability students encountered an error while solving the algebra operation and 44% of high-ability students encountered an error while solving Pythagoras theorem. As for the errors that occur in high-ability students if in the analysis based on the stage of Newman Error Analysis occurs at the stage of understanding the problem (comprehension) and the problem transformation (transformation). Of course, errors in the comprehension and transformation cause errors at a later stage so that the solution or answer found is worth wrong.     Keywords: Error, Newman Error Analysis, Mathematical Word Problem.

School readiness in implemention of mathematics learning based on the education unit level curriculum is an important factor to see the effectiveness is using of the education unit level curriculum. One aspect to know the effectiveness of curriculum use is to look at learning planning activities. So that this research was conducted with the aim of looking at the readiness of madrasah aliyah's teacher in learning mathematics in planning the education unit level curriculum. This research is a study of the implementation of the education unit level curriculum on learning mathematics, especially in the planning areas. This research was conducted at Muaro Jambi Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 4 school. This study uses descriptive qualitative approach. This research emphasizes more on the Madrasah Aliyah plan on mathematics learning by using the education unit level curriculum in mathematics learning. The subject of this study was the mathematics teacher at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 4 Muaro Jambi. Data collection techniques in this collection are carried out through observations of the situation of mathematics learning by using KTSP, interviews about teacher planning in preparing mathematics learning in the education unit level curriculum in madrasah aliyah. Based on the results of this research, the readiness of the teacher in developing the syllabus and RPP is in accordance with the provisions that must be in the reference of the education unit level curriculum. Where the components contained in the syllabus and RPP made by the teacher have included these components. In addition, the teacher has also analyzed the purpose of mathematics learning, namely the conformity of the competency standard with the learning material that will be delivered. Mathematics teacher readiness is also shown by understanding the different characters of students in each class

Literasi matematika kembali menjadi tren di bidang pendidikan. Berdasarkan observasi dan pengalaman peneliti sebagai pengajar masih ditemukan mahasiswa yang mengalami kesulitan dalam mengerjakan masalah yang terkait pemikiran tingkat lanjut dimana soal tersebut merupakan soal literasi matematika. Sejalan dengan ini maka goals penelitian ini adalah menjabarkan kemampuan literasi matematika mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dimana mahasiswa di Prodi Tadris Matematika UIN STS Jambi angkatan 2019 sebagai subjek penelitian. Instrumen utama adalah peneliti sendiri, sedangkan instrumen pendukung adalah lembar soal literasi matematika dan pedoman wawancara. Analisis data menggunakan analisis data Creswell. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa belum mampu menyelesaikan soal literasi matematika yang disusun dengan basic matematika diskrit, aljabar, dan kalkulus. Diperdalam lewat indikator kemampuan literasi matematika maka secara umum kemampuan literasi matematika mahasiswa masih berada pada tingkat rendah. Hanya indikator komunikasi, indikator matematisasi, indikator penalaran dan argumen, serta indikator menggunakan simbol, bahasa matematika dan operasinya yang dilalui dengan baik. Sementara indikator representasi, indikator memikirkan strategi untuk memecahkan masalah, dan indikator menggunakan alat matematika belum dilalui dengan baik.

Project based learning can organize students have sense-making in every learning process. In fact, it is also a support for a project or assignment from each learning unit completed by students and makes the project or task more focused. This study describes the best practices of project based learning and optimizing student creativity of islamic elementary School or elementary school teacher training program. This research applies experimental research with One-shot Case Study design. Students of Teacher Ttaining for Islamic elementary school State Islamic University of Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi are the subjects or samples studied in this study. The application of the project based learning method is done by making products from science learning materials. The results of student work in the form of menu presentations and reports. Product presentations by students are reviewed and used as a measure of students' creative thinking level in creating balanced menus. The instrument used is a product observation sheet. The data is analyzed based on the creative thinking scale which is used as a value in the creative design process of a project. The results of the study also found that the use of project based learning can optimize student creativity which is in the very high category. Even during presentations, students are able to develop their ideas in their own and simpler language so that they are clear and easy to understand. Another impact of the implication or application of the project-based learning model is that students become active and creative, both when looking for ideas and conveying those ideas.
