| Abstract: | The integer is a basic concept in studying arithmetic and algebra. However, students still frequently experience misconceptions, especially in negative integer, count operations. Traditional games are activities that are often carried out by students in coastal areas so that they are relevant to be used as a tool to construct learning trajectories in solving integer word problems. The aim of this study is to produce a learning trajectory that can be used to solve integer word problems using traditional games. This study used a design-based research. Participants in this study were five grade sixth elementary school students. There are 6 sub-topics studied, i.e., the concept of negative integers, sequence integers, addition and subtraction operations, division and multiplication operations, mixed count operations, and solving problems related to integers. The results of this study obtained student learning trajectories for each sub-topic including the free play, collecting data from the game results, making mathematical relationships, building concepts, and applying them to various problems. Students are able to do problem-solving based on the sequence of tasks but require intervention so they can apply it to other situations without engaging in activities. Further research is required for more in-depth exploration on thinking process, instruction types, and behaviours that students might display independently without using traditional games in solving integer word problems. |
