An Investigation Of Students Algebraic Proficiency From A Structure Sense Perspective, Al Jupri, Ririn Sispiyati, Kin Eng Chin Jan 2021

An Investigation Of Students Algebraic Proficiency From A Structure Sense Perspective, Al Jupri, Ririn Sispiyati, Kin Eng Chin

Research outputs 2014 to 2021

Structure sense can be interpreted as an intuitive ability towards symbolic expressions, including skills to perceive, to interpret, and to manipulate symbols in different roles. This ability shows student algebraic proficiency in dealing with various symbolic expressions and is considered important to be mastered by secondary school students for advanced study or professional work. This study, therefore, aims to investigate students algebraic proficiency in terms of structure sense. To reach this aim, we set up a qualitative case study with the following three steps. First, after conducting a literature study, we designed structure sense tasks according to structure sense characteristics …

LAYMAN ALLEN and Joan Ross have devised two extensions to the game of EQUATIONS. Allen has utilized the concept of mathematical balance in constructing games that bear a variety of academic content (for example, ON-WORDS and ON-SETS). The game quality in such cases depends on the complexity of problems that one player constructs for the others. The game is more durable when it is set in a metagame matrix that matches equally proficient players at each level of competence. When EQUATIONS is set in such a metagame it can become an Olympian struggle. In fact, during the past eight years …
