Improving Madrasah Students’ Numerical Literacy Using Drawing Strategy on Story Questions

Abstract

Understanding, communicating and problem-solving skills are the most important parts of Mathematics Skills. Most studies on these concepts state that there is a gap among students in story questions. This study aims to describe students' mathematical abilities through drawing strategies. The research method employed a quasi-type of experimental with nonequivalent control group design. The sample of this study was 64 students consisting of 30 experimental classes and 34 control classes. The data obtained were analyzed by Independent Sample t-test. The results indicate that there are significant differences in learning outcomes before and after implementing the drawing strategy to the experimental class and control class.
