The Development of Mathematical Problem-Solving Abilities on Exponentials Through the use of Board Games to Organize by Teams Games Tournaments : TGT Technique of Seventh Grade

Abstract

         The objectives of this study were to: 1) develop mathematical problem-solving abilities on exponentials using board games to organize TGT techniques to have an average math problem-solving score of at least 70% and at least 70% of students who meet the criteria; and 2) study attitudes after the use of board games to organize TGT techniques. The research samples came from 34 students at Nong Kung Si Wittayakarn School. The research tools were: 1) 10 learning management plans; and 2) measures to measure students' attitude towards learning activities as a scale, estimating five levels. The data analysis uses averages, deviations, and percentage values. The results showed that 1) students' mathematical problem-solving abilities on exponentials have an average score of 88.25 percent, and there are 34 students who meet the 70 percent threshold, representing 100 percent, which is higher than the specified threshold; 2) students' attitude toward learning activities has a high level.
