THE USE OF LOCAL CONTEXT IN DESIGNING LEARNING ACTIVITIES udFOR MATHEMATICS TEACHING IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

摘要

The new curriculum named “Kurikulum 2013” has been used from Elementary udto Senior Highschool in Indonesia since the year of 2013. A significant change udthat occurs is the use of scientific approach in learning where students have to udobserving , questioning, experimenting, associating and networking. One of the udrecommended learning model is a model of problem-based learning where udstudents are expected to find the concept by working through a particular udproblem. However, the main problem for the teacher in using this model is uddifficulty in designing problem scenario. The goal of this reasearch is to uddevelop mathematics instructional material for elementary school by using localudcontext such as folk game and tradition. The study begin by analyzing the udcontents of mathematical thinking in various folkloric traditions and the game in udRiau . On the basis of mathematical ideas found in each game and tradition udresearcher design learning activities to be used in mathematics class. The udproduct of this study are students book of mathematics that can be used in udaddition to the books published by the government in the implementation of the udcurriculum in 2013 . In the process of these book has been tested at elementary udschool that will use it. These book facilitate elementary student in mathematics udclass in observing, questioning, experimentating, associating and networking as udrecomended in implementing new curriculum.
