The Abstract Form Analysis of Math Concepts Based on The Multiple Representation for Pre-Service Teacher: Case Study in Creating Math Manipulatives

摘要

This study aimed to analyze the math concept based on multiple representation. This study conducted in creating physical manipulatives activities of pre-service teachers. The method used in this study is descriptive method in the form of case study during the lesson in a semester. The data taken from the physical manipulative that have been created by preservice teacher. The data was adjusted from the kind of physical manipulatives, based on the multiple representation that were physical, pictorial, and virtual. The result of the study were the preservice teacher could not create the physical manipulatives that used the true math concepts, the most multiple representation that appeared was pictorial and physical manipulative, and the pre-service teacher could not use the right mathematical fact and principes in creating physical maipulatives.
