The effect of using worksheet on students’ number sense ability

Abstract

Number Sense is a basic thing to learn mathematics, especially on numbers material. As a matter of fact, the preliminary research showed that students’ number sense ability was so poor. Therefore, using students’ worksheet as learning media on numbers material are expected to help students to understand the material. It implies, students’ number sense ability can be better. The aim of this study is to figure out the effect of using worksheet on students’ number sense ability. This study is using quantitative method with Wilcoxon Test. The number of 37 students were involved as a sample and chosen by random sampling technique. The result showed that the average score = 75.24 after students got the worksheet are higher than before they got the worksheet = 55.04. The result of hypothesis with Z score = -5.314 and p value = 0.000, so Ht was accepted. It means that there was different between before and after using the students’ worksheet. This result also showed that there was the effect of using worksheet on students’ number sense ability with an average increase of 19,00.
