“…Learner-generated drawings of MLD students at the elementary school level on the topic of addition and subtraction operations on integers can complement the other created drawings because they are explicitly connected to the thinking of elementary school students (Lewis et al, 2020;Wessman-Enzinger & Mooney, 2014). The findings of this drawing by S1 show that vertical sentencess are marked with emphasis on the S2 also produces drawings of objects in a single set marked with a horizontal sentences.…”

“…This suggests that children do not consider integers in the same way. MLD students are freed to produce and construct their drawings as instructional models (Lewis et al, 2020;Wessman-Enzinger, 2019). S1 showed more variety in producing drawings in session two and session three compared to session one in solving the problem of open number sentences.…”

“…MLD students understand conventional integers in terms of quantity and symbolic notation. In addition, MLD students have difficulty conceptualizing and manipulating negative numbers (Lewis et al, 2020). Bryant et al (2020) revealed that MLD students often ignore positive or negative signs in integers.…”

“…MLD students at the elementary school level also had difficulty in solving questions about addition and subtraction operations on integers (Bryant et al, 2020;Lewis et al, 2020;Shanty, 2016). This is based on the lack of understanding of MLD students about the use of the sign (-), which means negative and the subtraction operation (Bofferding, 2014;Cetin, 2019).…”

“…Although MLD students do not have good mathematical performance in addition and subtraction operations of integers (Lewis et al, 2020), they can have a good mathematical performance development on the visualization of the resulting drawing (learner-generated drawings) (Schmidgall et al, 2019). This also happens to students who have difficulty operating integers (Wessman-Enzinger, 2019).…”

Although MLD students do not have good mathematical performance in completing addition and subtraction operations of integers, MLD students have suggestive ideas in the form of drawings produced in solving open number sentences questions. This study aims to classify the types and identify changes in the drawing produced by MLD students in solving open number sentences questions. This research method is qualitative with a micro generic study approach to understand students' thinking individually and explore drawing changes in solving open number sentences questions between sessions. The research subjects were 2 out of 20 MLD grade 5 elementary school students who produced the most varied drawings in solving open number sentences questions. Data collection techniques used are giving questions and interviews. The results showed that MLD students produced: discrete object drawings by focusing on the cardinality of the quantity of a number; transitions from objects to the number line by focusing on the magnitude of numbers; partitioning the number line using magnitude reasoning; number sentences; and others using verbal reasoning. Changes in the drawings produced by MLD students between sessions indicate the development of students' understanding towards a better direction in interpreting symbolic representations to visual representations. The results of this study contribute to the theory that although MLD students have low mathematical performance. However, MLD students can produce variations and changes in drawings with rich mathematical idea information representing integer operations.

This study aims to determine and describe learning difficulties according to Cooney on algebraic from material in terms of students’ mathematical anxiety. This research is qualitative descriptive research. The research subjects were selected as many as 5 (five) who met the criteria in accordance with the research objective of 57 students. Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that students experience different mathematical anxiety when working on math problem in each somatic aspect, cognitive aspect, attitude aspect and mathematical knowledge aspect. Learners with different levels of mathematical anxiety have different learning difficulties. Learners with very high anxiety levels and high anxiety levels experience difficulties in each indicator of difficulty. Learners with moderate anxiety levels do not experience difficulties in the use of concepts, but difficulties in the use of principles and solving verbal problems. Learners with low anxiety levels did not experience difficulties in the use of principles and solving verbal problems but sometimes had difficulty in using principles. Learners with very low anxiety levels did not experience difficulties with each indicator. The Factors that cause mathematical anxiety and mathematics learning difficulties arise because students feel nervous about explaining the results of mathematical work in front of the class because they are not sure that the answers given are correct.
