- Abstract
The study aims to explore student errors in integer counting operations. The exploration of student error is focused on concept errors and procedurals implemented class VII Secondary School in East Indonesia. A total of 100 students who participated in the study and they were 13–15 Years old. Each student worked on a matter that had been tested for validity and validity, for 40 minutes. The test given consists of 10 matters with summation, subtraction and mixture counting operating material. Analysis of research data is done by exploring the work results of students then grouping based on the type of student error. The test results data is then identified and classified into the shape and type of error. Based on the results of the study, it suggests that in performing integer counting operations, students are highly likely to commit procedural errors and concept errors. The form of procedural errors that students make is: (1) Less thorough in rewriting the matter, (2) Less Efficacy in calculating summation and subtraction results, (3) Forgot to write down negative signs on summation and subtraction results, (4) Mistake of sequence in performing summation and subtraction operations, and (5) Not Writing answers in full. Whereas the form of concept errors that students make is: (1) Errors in summing negative numbers, (2) Errors in subtraction of similar integers (a–b for a<b or (–a)–(–b)), and (3) Errors in performing the emblem operation “–” with negative numbers.
