DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS ON ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF INTEGERS FOR SEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS USING AN INDUCTIVE TEACHING METHOD WITH BOARD GAMES

Abstract

Abstract

              The purpose of this research were to study the approaches for mathematics learning management on integer addition and subtraction for seventh grade students using an inductive teaching methods with board games and to develop mathematical concepts on integer addition and subtraction for seventh grade students using an inductive teaching methods with board games. The target group used in the research was 20 students in seventh grade students, a school in Phichit province, in the academic year 2022. The researcher used the model of classroom action research 4 cycles of action total time 8 hours. Each cycle consists of                4 steps: Plan, Act, Observe and Reflect. The research tool were the learning management plan, a reflective form for organizing activities, an activity sheet, and a mathematical concept test. Data were analyzed using content analysis

              The research results found that

1. The approaches for mathematics learning management on integer addition and subtraction for seventh grade students using an inductive teaching methods with board games. There are 5 steps in learning management: Step 1 Preparation Step 2 Sample presentation 2.1 Game presentation 2.2 Playing by the rules 2.3 Conclusion and discussion 2.4 Learning evaluation Step 3 Comparison Step 4 Conclusion and Step 5 Application. There are issues that should be emphasized, review of students' prior knowledge writing equations obtained from playing board games and board game development.
2. Development of mathematical concepts on integer addition and subtraction for seventh grade students an using inductive teaching methods with board games. Most of the students were in the Correct Comprehension (CU) group both during and after the learning management using inductive teaching methods combined with board games.
