This study aims to analyze the ability of teachers to develop interactive learning media and also to analyze the usefulness of interactive media in learning mathematics. The subjects of the study included two seventh grade mathematics teachers and six seventh grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 08 Batu. The method used in this research is a descriptive field method with a case study approach. While the research instruments used include documentation; observations, and interviews. The results of this study indicate that mathematics teachers are able to develop interactive media, but the resulting media is still relatively simple. In addition, the results of this study also show that the use of interactive media in learning mathematics can provide benefits.
The purpose of this study is to describe the misconceptions of flat shapes experienced by students at the elementary school level and provide alternative solutions to understand students' concepts of flat shapes. The method used is a literacy study by referring to sources such as books, articles, and journals. The results obtained regarding students' misconceptions about the concept of flat shapes are 1) there is no difference between concepts and numbers; 2) value of = 22/7 ; 3) parallelograms, rhombuses and squares are not rectangles. Alternative solutions offered to understand students about the concept of flat shapes include 1) re-explaining or re-explaining part of each concept or procedure; 2) problem student thinking or asking students to explain how they solve problems; 3) cognitive conflict, namely managing mathematics learning situations that allow elementary school students to identify conflicting mathematical principles between the original answers and students' answers.
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.
