PENGARUH PEMAHAMAN WRITING MATHEMATICS MAHASISWA DALAM MENGKOMUNIKASIKAN SUATU BUKTI PERNYATAAN DALAM MATEMATIKA

The ability of writing and communicating Mathematics text are needed to get the whole understanding of specific topic in Mathematics. But so far, it is still can be found some meaningless statement that implies some misconceptions. The qualitative data analysis is conducted in this research to find out how big the change of the writing mathematics skill after conducting a technical guidance. The result of data analysis and some evaluation show that the skill of understanding the concept of writing mathematics takes effect in communicating or creating a proof of mathematical statement.

Statistical graphics in Mathematics text books for mexican Primary Education

Os resultados de uma investigação são relatados sobre o tipo de gráfico, nível de leitura, nível de complexidade semiótica e conflito semiótico, identificados nas atividades relacionadas aos gráficos estatísticos nos livros didáticos de matemática da Ensino Fundamental no México. Para isso, realizamos uma análise de conteúdo em duas séries completas de livros (12 textos), o primeiro publicado pelo Ministério da Educação Pública e o segundo por Santillana. Os resultados mostram que os gráficos estatísticos são apresentados a partir da terceira série, com predominância do gráfico de barras, o nível lido nos dados, o nível representação de uma distribuição de dados e o conflito semiótico associado à ausência de títulos geral do gráfico.

Inappropriate Strategies That Senior High School Students Use When Solving Routine Problems in Basic Algebra

The purpose of the study was to identify the inappropriate strategies that senor high school students used when solving routine problems in basic algebra. The study was conducted with second year students of Eguafo Senior High School, Edinaman Senior High School and Komenda Secondary Technical School; all situated in the Central Region of Ghana. The data used in the analysis were collected form 120 students of the various programmes in the Senior High School. The simple random sampling method was used in the selection of the sample and the descriptive sample survey was the research design used. Essay type achievement tests and interview were used in the data collection. The test involved 20 independent test items under 10 routine problems in basic algebra. The test items were carefully selected from various Senior High School Mathematics text books and WAEC past questions under the supervision of the supervisor. Students were assembled in their classrooms for the administration of the tests. The tests were administered during official school hours. A total of thirty students, ten from each school were interviewed individually on their solutions to the test items. The failure strategies identified were observed to have comprised one or some combinations of a number of errors classified into six types as follows: a. Sign Errors, Misconception, Slip-shod Errors, Misapplication of RulesComputational Errors and Miscellaneous Errors. It was recommended that textbook authors in their text books should caution students on the possible common mistakes students make with each topic.

Incorporating Human Rights Concepts in Palestinian Mathematics Text Box: A Proposed Mechanism

This paper Submitted as enrichment material on the possibility of integration of the principles of human rights in Palestinian mathematics text boxes, with a view to sensitizing child rights, through the integration of human rights principles in some sections of Math such as: Set Theory, Geometry, Statistics, Probability, and Problem Solving, So it is an integral new contribution to this paper which is directed to Palestinian Ministry of Education to study, and highlighted the issue of citizenship, human rights on Palestinian Math Curriculums' .
