Students’ Initial Understanding of the Concept of Conservation of Area

This study answers how the students understand the initial idea (recomposing shape) of the concept of conservation of area. The instructional activity which was made in this study is based on realistic mathematics education. The activity was created for third grade elementary school students in SD A...

The instructional activity which was made in this study is based on realistic mathematics education. The activity was created for third grade elementary school students in SD Al-Hikmah Surabaya. The third grade students were used since they have not learned about area measurement. So they could focus just on the shape without disturbance of the area formula. The result of this study suggest that students still need more similar activities to ensure their understanding toward the idea that recomposing shape will preserve the area of the shape.http://dstats.net/download/http://jims-b.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/6-Full-IndoMS-JME-51-Rindu-Alriavindra-Funny-57-65.pdfConcept of Conservation of AreaInitial UnderstandingRecomposing Shape
