Number Sense, Bilangan, Sekolah DasarAbstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan number sense siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal bilangan di tingkat sekolah dasar. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif deskriptif dengan subjek sebanyak 22 siswa kelas V di SD Muhammadiyah 24 Surabaya. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa tes diagnostik berbasis indikator number sense yang mencakup aspek estimasi, fleksibilitas berhitung, dan hubungan antarbilangan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas siswa (54,5%) berada pada kategori kemampuan sedang, 27,3% dalam kategori rendah, dan hanya 18,2% dalam kategori tinggi. Rata-rata skor per aspek menunjukkan bahwa siswa paling lemah dalam estimasi (52%), sementara hubungan antarbilangan menjadi aspek paling dikuasai (68%). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan number sense siswa masih terbatas pada pemahaman prosedural dan belum berkembang secara konseptual. Oleh karena itu, pembelajaran matematika perlu didesain ulang agar lebih menekankan pada pengembangan intuisi numerik dan pemahaman makna bilangan secara kontekstual. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan integrasi strategi pembelajaran berbasis eksplorasi, diskusi strategi alternatif, dan estimasi logis dalam proses belajar-mengajar di kelas.
