“…Oleh karena itu, sangat penting untuk memberikan pendidikan matematika kepada anak-anak di semua tingkatan kelas, mulai dari sekolah dasar hingga sekolah menengah atas. Hal ini akan memungkinkan siswa untuk mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir logis, analitis, sistematis, kritis, dan kreatif, memberdayakan mereka untuk secara efektif mengatasi tantangan yang mereka hadapi dalam kehidupan sehari-hari (Baten, 2019;Mutlu, 2019;Trujillo, 2023).…”

Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu agar dapat menganalisis permasalahan belajar matematika pada materi bilangan dan pengukuran di kelas II Sekolah Dasar. Subjek dari penelitian ini merupakan guru kelas II di SDN yang terletak di Jakarta Selatan. Pada pelaksanaan penelitian ini mengggunakan sebuah metode penelitian yang berupa deskriptif kualitatif melalui penggunaan teknik dengan wujud wawancara beserta observasi. Yang dihasilkan dari penelitian ini, terkait analisis kesulitan belajar matematika pada materi bilangan dan pengukuran siswa kelas II di Sekolah Dasar yang telah peneliti lakukan dapat disimpulkan bahwa (a) Siswa menganggap matematika sebagai mata pelajaran yang sulit; (b) Kurangnya pemahaman konsep matematika oleh siswa; (c) Kurangnya penggunaan media pembelajaran. Dan upaya yang peneliti temukan dalam menghadapi kesulitan belajar matematika pada materi bilangan dan pengukuran siswa kelas II, yaitu (a) Menggunakan metode, media, serta strategi pembelajaran yang menyenangkan seperti permainan matematika dan cerita matematika yang menarik sehingga dapat membantu siswa dalam memahami konsep matematika dengan baik; (b) Menggunakan pendekatan pembelajaran kontekstual; (c) Menggunakan peningkatan minat belajar matematika melalui pendekatan matematika realistik (PMR).

“…Several historical and epistemological research works [2][3][4][5][6][7] clarified the nature and emergence of functions. Other mathematics education studies tried to describe and explain students' difficulties in understanding the concept of function [8][9][10][11][12], analyze curricular orientations [13], and teacher training [14]. Educational research linking historical-epistemological aspects with psycho-logical and instructional issues is scarcer.…”

Developing students’ adequate functional reasoning requires paying attention to the design and planning of teaching from the first educational levels. This implies considering and progressively articulating the diversity of meanings of the function, attending to the generality and formalization levels that emerged in its historical evolution. In this paper, we review historical and epistemological studies on function using theoretical tools of the Onto-semiotic Approach to characterize different levels of functional reasoning. We interpret meaning in terms of systems of operative and discursive practices related to solving types of problems. In line with previous research, we identify partial meanings of function (operative-tabular, operative-graphic, algebraic-geometric, analytic, arbitrary correspondence between numerical sets, and mapping between arbitrary sets) that should be part of the overall reference meaning in the planning and management of function teaching and learning processes. This study provides a complementary view of the multiple investigations that describe the phylogenesis of the concept of function in mathematics with a historical and epistemological approach.

Linear and quadratic functions are crucial topics in math education, and there is a significant focus on using activity-based learning (ABL) to teach these subjects. However, previous research has shown gaps, especially in how this approach affects high school students' learning outcomes. Most studies focus only on test scores and do not consider students' satisfaction or apply these methods to other math topics. This study aimed to assess the impact of ABL on the academic performance and satisfaction of 11th-grade students with linear and quadratic functions. The research was conducted in a Thai public school with 38 participants, using various tools like an ABL curriculum, skills assessments, achievement tests, and a satisfaction survey. The findings clearly showed that ABL improves students' understanding and problem-solving skills in complex math topics like linear and quadratic functions. This study provides solid evidence that ABL is effective in high school math, suggesting it could improve students' overall learning experiences and outcomes.
