Mathematical Literacy Training (MLT) through Virtual based Mathematics Kits (VMK) for best mathematics performance

Abstract

Abstract Mathematical literacy bridges mathematics with real-world contexts. This study aims to enhance mathematics performance by MLT through VMK. The study involves grade 4 elementary school students in 4 classes. The MLT has been held 5 weeks (90 minutes each week) as extracurricular activities in 4 classes. The MLT focus on students’ ability to reason, convey ideas effectively and solve math problems. Various math problems represented by VMK (digital-based media). The VMK used for stimulating students’ thinking. The enhancement seen by comparing student’ mathematics performance before and after MLT activities. The MLT gives an enhancement for student’ mathematics performance and mathematical literacy. The use of VMK can stimulate students’ ability to reason and solve math problems. In convey ideas effectively, student still needs help in making an idea. This study shows the VMK in MLT activities enhance student’ mathematics performance.
