  • Manipulative materials for the Bridge to the Abstract Stage
    Post date: 16/05/2019 - 12:59

    Manipulative materials are seen to be used to assist understanding and learning. The most difficult thing to teach is giving reasons why mathematics is rational. For example, if a number is divided, the result becomes bigger, such as if the number 4 is divided by ½, the result is 8. This makes mathematics learning seem difficult. To show this, it is easier to teach with Manipulative material.

    This was stated by Dr. Sugiman, head of the Mathematics Education Department, FMIPA UNY, when welcoming a comparative study of 150 students of STKIP Garut Mathematics Education, on Tuesday, 23/...

  • LEARNING MATHEMATICS MAKES STUDENTS HONEST AND OPEN TO CRITICISM
    Post date: 16/05/2019 - 10:23

    In mathematics, there are many theorems that are built from previously agreed definitions. A student who learns mathematics will naturally be trained to honestly use a definition or theorem to prove the next theorem. This verification process also trains openness to accept criticism and suggestions from other people so that they obtain valid and accountable evidence.

    The use of definitions, lemmas and theorems will train the consistency of students who study them. Inconsistencies will cause the final results to be wrong or even contradictory.

  • SKILLED IN NUMERATION IS NOT NECESSARILY SKILLED IN MATHEMATICS
    Post date: 16/05/2019 - 09:56

    In learning, students in schools and colleges are skilled at arithmetic but not necessarily skilled at mathematics. This is because mathematics involves the ability to make analogies, the ability to interpret, conclude, and generalize.

    That's what Dr. Ali Mahmudi, Coordinator of the Mathematics Education Study Program FMIPA UNY when receiving a visit from students from Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa University Banten at FMIPA, yesterday.

    It was further said, why do we teach mathematics to children, is it so that they master as much mathematics as possible, is it so that they become...
