Abstract
A majority of students are able to do basic mathematical operations. However, they have not acquired the ability and the necessary skills required to solve mathematical word problem. Solving mathematical word problem requires deep understanding and acquisition of mathematical basic skills for complex strategies. One of the widely used strategies is visualization. The method used in this research is graphical representation.
This paper was conducted to determine the effectiveness of using visualization which is graphical representation in solving mathematical word problem involving addition and subtraction for 4 Amal pupils. The techniques used for data collection were pre test, post test, questionnaire, observation and clinical interview. The data obtained was analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively



References: Defining visuals The Macmillan English Dictionary (2002 p Defining visualization in solving word problems According to Moses (1982) pupils can understand mathematics problems better when they create image that represents situation in the problem

    Graphs and diagrams are also helpful when it comes to comparing data. When it is written out in words it can be confusing whereas a chart both can accurately compare and measure over a certain period of time. Visual learners process information the best through graphical tools which allows them to interpret data in a logical manner. Students with this learning style should formulate their notes in an orderly fashion, so that they would be able to visualize how the pieces of the puzzle are connected.…

    Traditionally students are taught that they need to look for key words when solving problems but this can often be confusing. Certain words like “times” could mean division or multiplication. In the example given many students got mixed up with the word and solved it like a multiplication problem resulting in an incorrect answer. When using bars of various lengths and words like “fewer” students solved more problems correct. Bar modeling also emphasizes the relationship among operations. In the picture examples shown, you can see…

    While developing student’s problem solving skills, professional math teachers must begin to teach students to understand the meanings of whole numbers. This step will serve as scaffolding for students as they encounter more advanced concepts. Teachers should encourage the use of manipulatives, such as base-ten blocks, as they will help students relate whole numbers to something real. Teachers can also use Venn diagrams as they allow students to graphically organize material, which aids in the development of their analytical skills and teaches them to draw conclusions based on specific criteria.…

    Mathematics for common education have been a process of memorizing away from the child's natural development, apart from understanding, reasoning and interest. The problem then lies not in the major or minor child's ability to understand or the age at which to learn mathematics. These are just prejudices of adults; rather the problem lies in the way in which we teach them.…

    Sekolah Kebangsaan Lotong Kudat telah dibina pada penghujung tahun 1974. Sekolah ini telah memulakan pembelajarannya pada bulan Januari 1975. Pada tahun petama pembukaan sekolah ini hanya mempunyai 23 orang murid dan tiga orang guru. Sebilangan muridnya sudah berumur antara 13 hingga 15 tahun. Menurut En. Adang bin Basi, salah seorang pemimpin kanan di Kg. Lotong, Kudat sekolah ini pada asalnya akan dibina di Kg. Togumamal, Kudat. Tetapi memandangkan penduduk Kg. Togumamal belum bersedia pada ketika itu, KK Aduan bin Mangatang, Ketua Kampung, Kg. Membatu telah mengambil peluang ini untuk memohon kepada Pejabat Pelajaran Daerah Kudat supaya sekolah ini dibina di kampungnya. Permohonan ini telah diterima. . Bahan binaan sekolah ini telah dihantar melalui laut di Pengkalan Liwatan. Penduduk kampung telah bergotong-royong mengangkat bahan-bahan binaan ini ke tapak pembinaan. Setelah siap sekolah ini dinamakan SK Lotong, Kudat. Padan mulanya sekolah ini hanya mengandungi satu blok bangunan sahaja yang menempatkan tiga buah bilik darjah, sebuah bilik guru, pejabat pentadbiran dan sebuah rumah guru. Pada tahun 1986 bangunan sekolah telah ditambah satu blok lagi yang memuatkan tiga buah bilik darjah dan sebuah bilik kecil yang telah dijadikan Pusat Sumber. Sebuah lagi rumah guru telah dibina. Pada masa ini Sekolah Kebangsaan Lotong, Kudat mengandungi dua blok bangunan yang menempatkan enam bilik darjah, bilik guru, pejabat pentadbiran dan pusat Sumber. Bangunan-bangunan tambahan seperti Prasekolah dan Makmal Komputer juga telah dibina. Prasekolah telah memulakan pembelajarannya pada Januari 2009. Manakala makmal komputer sedang dalam pembinaan. Bilangan guru dan murid bertambah dari tahun ke tahun. Oleh itu prasarana sekolah tidak lagi dapat memenuhi keperluan guru dan murid. Untuk mengatasi masalah tempat tinggal guru, beberapa orang guru terutamanya yang sudah berkeluarga dan sama-sama mengajar di sekolah ini telah membina rumah sendiri di kawasan…
