Analysis of Numeracy Literacy Skills of Grade V Students in Solving Geometry Problems

Abstract

This study aims to determine the numeracy literacy ability of students. This research includes descriptive analysis research with a qualitative approach. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling. Data was collected through observation, tests, and interviews. The results showed that the numeracy literacy ability of 26 grade V students of SDN Sugutamu was included in the low category with an average score of 32. There are 2 students with high category, 7 students with medium category and 17 students with low category. Students with high numeracy literacy ability can meet two to three indicators of numeracy literacy ability. Students with moderate numeracy literacy ability can meet one to two numeracy literacy indicators. Meanwhile, students with low numeracy literacy skills only meet one indicator on a particular question. The non-fulfillment of numeracy literacy indicators is caused by student errors including 1) Not describing aspects that are known and asked about in the questions, 2) Not completing the steps for solving the questions, 3) The images made are not in accordance with the question orders, 4) Errors in determining the results of the calculation operation, 5) Not stating the decisions taken based on the answers obtained.
