NUMBER SENSE DALAM MEMECAHKAN MASALAH MATEMATIKA PADA MAHASISWA IKIP PGRI PONTIANAK

Abstract

Number sense is a person towards numbers, number sense is needed for students in the process of learning mathematics. Students with good number sense will be able to use their knowledge of numbers in solving mathematical problems. Therefore, it is necessary to do about how students use their number sense skills in mathematical problem situations. This study aims to determine how the number sense of students in solving mathematical problems. This type of research is qualitative research. The method used is a descriptive method in the form of case study research. The subjects in this study were IKIP PGRI Pontianak students who came from the mathematics education study program which collected 8 people. The instruments used in this study were test questions and interviews. From the results of data analysis and subject representation in displaying number sense in each C1-C5 component, the researcher concluded that all subjects had good number sense, seen from all who had number sense with a percentage of more than 60%.
