This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) to improve students' multi-representation ability. A quasi-experimental design was used in this research. Sixty-four samples from the seventh-grade students of Junior School were randomly selected and divided into two classes: experimental class was treated using RME and control class was treated using conventional learning, with each class consisting of thirty-two students. The essay test was used to measure the multi-representation ability of students and the questionnaire was used to measure students' responses in RME learning. The data from the essay test were analyzed by N-Gain test and t-test in which normality and homogenity test were conducted previously, while the students' learning completeness and student responses were presented descriptive quantitative. The result of the research concluded that the multi-representation ability of students who get RME learning is better than the multi-representation ability in students who get conventional learning. 87.25% of students who get RME learning with the developed device have completed the KKM, and many students are very enthusiastic and interested in RME based learning, thus increasing their learning spirit in a learning process.

This research is an effort to improve students' critical thinking ability by applying Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) learning with Means Ends Analysis (MEA) strategy. The method used in this research is classroom action research in 2 cycles. Each cycle passes through 4 stages; they are planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The learning process in class X IPS-3 for each cycle uses RME approach with MEA strategy. Students are given an essay test at each end of the cycle to measure their critical thinking abilities. Conclusion shows that students’ critical thinking ability increases from 56% (cycle I) to 84% (cycle II) by applying RME approach with MEA strategy.

Mathematical learning not only produces students who succeed in mathematical and procedural calculations but also develops religious thinking. Realistic mathematics education with the context of Islamic values makes students can imagine, which is one of the right ways to develop the skills of students’ creativity, collaboration, and communication. This study aims to describe the learning trajectory that can help students understand integers with a realistic mathematics education approach based on Islamic values. It is hoped that student responses are positive, meaningful, and enjoyable. This research uses the design research method, which is a form of a qualitative approach. There are three stages in this research, namely: preliminary design, experimental design, and retrospective analysis. The results showed that the Hypothetical Learning Trajectory (HLT) trial with an Islamic value-based context showed significant progress based on student responses. Initially, students had difficulty understanding integers, but they felt delighted to follow the learning process along with the habituation. The HLT technique used in habituation was through pilot experiments, followed by teaching experiments. Students respond very positively and are happy to follow it by seeing the very significant development of their abilities during the learning process.

The low ability of mathematical communication at SMP Negeri 1 Way Bungur, East Lampung is due to various factors, including the assumption that mathematics is complicated, a lack of curiosity about mathematics, and a lack of variation in learning models, so that students still tend to be passive. The purpose of this study was to determine the mathematical communication skills of students who use the Islamic-nuanced Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach better than ordinary learning. The research method used is a quantitative method using the Quasi-Experimental Design method. The data collection techniques used in the study were: documentation, tests in the form of essay questions to determine the effect of the Islamic-nuanced Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach to improve mathematical communication skills. This study indicates an increase in the mathematical communication skills of students who are given an Islamic approach to Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) with ordinary learning. Increasing students' mathematical communication skills with the Islamic-nuanced Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach is better than regular learning. So it can be concluded that the Islamic-nuanced Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education (PMRI) approach can improve mathematical communication skills compared to ordinary learning. Abstrak Berdasarkan latar belakang dan rumusan masalah di atas, maka peneliti memiliki tujuan yaitu untuk mengetahui Pengaruh Pendekatan Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI) bernuansa Islami dalam meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi matematis yang terdapat pada peserta didik di SMP Negeri 1 Way Bungur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif menggunakan metode Quasi Eksperimen Design.  Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan pada penelitian, yaitu: Dokumentasi, Tes berbentuk soal uraian (essay)  untuk mengetahui pengaruh pendekatan Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI) bernuansa Islami untuk meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi matematis. Hasil penelitian ini bahwa adanya pengaruh peningkatan kemampuan komunikasi matematis peserta didik yang diberi pendekatan Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI) bernuansa Islami dengan pembelajaran biasa. Peningkatan kemampuan komunikasi matematis peserta didik dengan pendekatan Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI) bernuansa Islami lebih baik daripada pembelajaran biasa. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendekatan Pendidikan Matematika Realistik Indonesia (PMRI) bernuansa Islami dapat meningkatkan kemampuan komunikasi matematis dibandingkan dengan pembelajaran biasa.

Abstract: Purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the use of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on sixth grade students’ statistical thinking levels. Mooney’s (2002) statistical thinking framework describing four thinking levels across four different statistical thinking processes was used. This study utilized a quasi-experimental pretestposttest design. In the experimental group, the data handling unit was taught using RME approach whereas in the control group lessons were taught traditionally using a mathematics textbook and direct instruction. A statistical thinking test composed of seven open-ended questions was prepared and applied to both groups as pretest and posttest. The change of students’ statistical thinking levels in pretest and posttest were analyzed and compared in both groups as well as between groups. The data analysis showed that the overall growth at Level 4 across statistical thinking processes was higher for the students who were taught using the RME approach than for those taught traditionally.

Abstract                                                              This paper discusses the use of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) as an alternative approach to enhance Indonesian 5th-grade students’ ability in multiplication and division. It presents the analysis of Indonesian 5th-grade students’ difficulties in applying stacking method for multiplication and division. Furthermore, it describes a mathematics teaching learning practice to stimulate students constructing their strategies, mathematical models and number sense in solving mathematical problems that involve multiplication and division. The teaching learning practice aims to apply RME for helping students develop their multiplication and division ability.Findings shows that stacking methods for multiplication and division are difficult for the students. The main students’ problem in multiplication and division stacking methods is in reapplying the steps of the methods. The steps taken to improve the learning process by implementing RME are: (1) analyze in detail the difficulties of students in multiplication and division stacking methods, (2) provide contexts of mathematical problems that can stimulate students to think mathematically, (3) hold a class mathematics congress, and (4) conduct a test to measure students’ achievement.            Based on the students’ achievement, there has been several improvements. After RME, there were more students whose grades passed the Minimum Mastery Criteria. Moreover, there was a student who got 100. Then, the average test was higher. Meanwhile, there were only 3 children whose grades were 0. Thus, the application of RME has helped the 5th-grade students to improve their ability in multiplication and division.
