Abstract

This study aims to develop an effective learning design to teach the concept of measuring the volume of a cube to students using the unit cube approach. The research method used is qualitative with a development research design approach. Data in this study were collected through class observations, interviews with class teachers, and analysis of existing learning materials. The results of this study indicate that the unit cube approach can improve students’ understanding of the concept of measuring the volume of a cube. The use of unit cubes as learning aids helps students to associate abstract concepts with concrete visual representations. In addition, it was found that the interaction between teachers and students played an important role in facilitating student understanding. Teachers need to have an in-depth understanding of the concept of volume cube and the ability to direct class discussions so that students can work in groups, think critically and creatively and ask relevant questions. The use of appropriate questioning strategies also plays an important role in guiding students towards deeper understanding. In conclusion, this learning design provides a practical guide for teachers to teach the concept of measuring the volume of a cube effectively. The unit cube approach encourages students to be actively involved in the learning process and build a solid understanding of the concept. It is hoped that this research can make a positive contribution to the development of more innovative and interactive mathematics learning methods.
