This study aims to: (1) Determine whether Think Pair Share (TPS) learning tools developed in grade VII of SMP Negeri 11 Medan are valid, practical, and effective. (2) Knowing whether students' mathematical representation ability through the use of learning tools can be improved. This type of research is a research development using the 4D model. The subject in this study was a Learning Kit that was developed consisting of student books, lesson plans, Student Activity Sheets, mathematical representation tests. The research subject is class VII. Data was collected in the form of instruments, namely validity sheets, questionnaire sheets, and tests. The results of the study obtained a valid, practical and effective learning device. (1) validation indicate that the device developed is suitable for use. Practicality can be seen from the response of the expert team or validator who stated that the learning tools can be used with minor revisions. The effectiveness seen from the classical completeness has met the minimum completeness criteria; (2) The trial shows that the mathematical representation ability increases as indicated by the n-Gain value.
Manipulatives are concrete or virtual objects that enable pupils to visualize abstract mathematical concepts in concrete terms for easy comprehension. They play an important role in the success of effective mathematics education. Preliminary studies in the selected schools revealed that manipulatives are lacking in these schools and that makes teaching and learning of some mathematics topics very challenging. This research sought to find out how mathematics is taught in the selected schools to find out if the teaching and learning of mathematics are done with or without manipulatives and their impact on mathematics education. These two selected schools consisted of one publicly and one privately owned schools. The study is qualitative in nature specifically the descriptive and quasi-experimental methods of qualitative research. The research instruments employed for the study were interview and observation. The population for the study was 940, with a target population of 470 and an accessible population of 206. The accessible population for the private school was 132 (3 teachers and129 pupils) whereas the accessible population for the public school was 74 (3 teachers, 70 pupils and 1 head teacher). The convenient sampling was used to pick schools that were that were not too far from the researcher (private and primary schools) whiles the purposive sampling was used to select one public and one public school. Results from observation in both schools showed that, manipulatives were available for only addition and subtraction. Data from interviews showed that some topics in mathematics are challenging to teach without manipulatives. Manipulatives were designed and developed for five of the challenging to teach and learn topics in mathematics.

This study aims to analyze students’ understanding of mathematical concepts in the material of addition and subtraction of integers by using manipulative media in the form of colored paperboard designed into rectangular shapes. This research was conducted in class IV SDN 02 Koto Tangah. The subjects in this study are class IVB students with the total number of 25 students. The instrument used in this research was a subjective test that had fulfilled mathematical concept indicators and test indicators. Data analysis was carried out by using the N-Gain formula developed by Meltzer (2002 and then was interpreted based on the classification of the N-Gain index from Hake (1999). The results of this study reveal that mathematics learning by using manipulative media in the form of rectangular shape designed paperboard can improve students’ understanding of mathematical concepts in the material of addition and subtraction of integers.

This research was conducted based on the low ability of students' mathematical representation in the eighth-grade students of SMP N 9 Purwokerto. One of the contributing factors was that the use of the learning approach had not facilitated students in developing mathematical representation abilities. The solution that was considered capable of improving the ability of mathematical representation was to apply the learning process with a realistic mathematical approach. The realistic mathematics approach provided opportunities for students to do modeling, depicting, and symbolizing related to concrete problems. This research was quantitative with a quasi-experimental type with Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population in this study were all students of grade eight of SMP N 9 Purwokerto. The sample in this study was the students of VIII A with a total of 36 students and VIII B with a total of 36 students. The data analysis used was the z-test and the N-Gain test. The results of the z-test showed a significant effect, the mathematical representation abilities of the experimental class students were higher. Then, the results of the N-Gain test showed that the experimental class was in the medium category and the control class was in the low category. Thus, the representation ability of the experimental class students was higher than that of the control class. The results of this study indicate that the realistic mathematical approach is effective in increasing students' mathematical representation abilities.
