Pengenalan Sifat dan Karakteristik Tabung dengan Pendekatan Matematika Realistik
Abstract: The learning process
of mathematics, especially the one related to the characteristic of cylinder,
at elementary school or at the other higher level of school only required the
students to memorize the concept of it without comprehending its meaning. Based
on that reason, it is a need to have an appropriate learning approach to help
the students in understanding the characteristics of cylinder. This research
aims to describe the learning activity of cylinder characteristic by using
Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). There were five students of grade V from
SDN 3 Sigli who were involved in this study.Byusing the approach, the students
were motivated to learn about cylinder characteristics more meaningfully. The
use of the appropriate context that matches with the students’ culture also
became a strong foundation for them in possessing a meaningful experience
toward the material. It also can lead them to have more formal learning
experiences (identifying the characteristics of cylinder). There were three
kinds of activities that are conducted in the study and were related to
introduction the characteristicsof cylinder. They were glueing by using
different colour, drawing a tissue place, and unloading the model of the tissue
place. The use of concrete objects that relates to the culture of the students
to develop their ability in understanding the material of the cylinder was the
first step in learning the cylinder volume concept
