IMPROVING UNDERSTANDING OF FLAT SHAPE CONCEPTS THROUGH PROJECT BASED LEARNING MODEL WITH MAKETS MEDIA

Abstract

This study tries to ascertain students' cognitive comprehension of flat shapes, a topic in mathematics. This study employs project-based learning with the help of Makets media and a spiral design. 21 students who were divided into three levels, high, medium, and low, served as the study's subjects. In order to determine how well the subject could comprehend mathematical ideas in flat shape material, the researcher used exam questions, media Makets, and interviews. The data analysis method then compared the pre-cycle, cycle I, and cycle II using descriptive analysis. by 25% indicators of student performance. According to the study's findings, learning using the Project-Based Learning approach using Makets can increase conceptual understanding. This can be seen from the pre-cycle, where a class average of 51.90 and percentages for 9 students who completed over =>70 (42.86%) and students who did not complete as many as 12 students (57.14%) respectivelyIn cycle I, there were 6 students who finished with a completion rate of 28.57% and 15 students who did not finish with a completion rate of 71.43%, with a class average of 56.24. In cycle II, there were 17 students who finished with a completion rate of 80.95% and 4 students who did not finish with a completion rate of 19.05%, with an average grade of 78.74. Readers may find this study to be an informative and useful resource.
