Science and mathematics literacy of elementary school students related to water cycle

Abstract

Abstract Primary school students are the main foundation for the next level, so they must have strong scientific literacy and mathematical literacy. This study aims to describe the scientific and mathematical literacy of grade 5 elementary school students related to the water cycle. In this study descriptive method was used. Measurements were made of 43 elementary school students in the fifth grade in urban areas and they had studied water cycle material. The instruments used were in the form of scientific and mathematical literacy test questions in the form of descriptions. Data processing of research results was carried out using simple statistics, and the results showed that scientific and mathematical literacy of grade V elementary school students related to the water cycle was still low. Information on the results of this study is expected to be used as a reference for elementary school teachers so that the learning done is more meaningful.
