| Summary: | This research addresses the problem of low cognitive mathematics ability of grade 5 students, especially on the topic of geometry. The solution is done by implementing the Multi Representation Discourse model (MRD) assisted by the Realistic Mathematics Education approach (RME). This study used a quasi-experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group framework. The study population consisted of 107 students in the Klaten coordination area, with a random sample of 44 participants. A 7-item essay-based test was used as the research instrument to measure cognitive ability. Hypothesis testing showed a significance value of 0.047 and a gain score of 62.01%, indicating the effectiveness of MRD with the RME approach in improving mathematics cognitive ability. In addition, the mean difference of 32.28 between the pretest and posttest scores indicated a substantial improvement in students' cognitive abilities after the MRD model with the RME approach was applied. |
