Description
Summary:Effective mathematics learning not only teaches concepts, but also encourages students to connect the various concepts in real life. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) using puzzle media in improving students' mathematical connection skills in elementary school. To contribute to this problem we used two classes to test how the effect of PBL using puzzle media helps students to connect their ability to understand comparison material in grade V elementary school through quasi-experimental quantitative research with posttest-only with nonequivalent groups design. The sample in the study amounted to 54 students who were divided into a control class and an experimental class. The statistical analysis of the independent t-test results indicates a significant difference in the mathematical connection skills between students in the control and experimental classes. . The implication of this study is that the use of puzzle-assisted PBL is effective in improving students' mathematical connection skills by helping them connect mathematical concepts more practically and contextually.
