Using The (4mat) Model in Teaching The Triangles Similarity Unit For The Ninth Grade
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of the 4mat model in teaching engineering and developing thinking skills and geometric tendencies among ninth-grade middle school students in "the triangles similarity unit". The study used a semi-experimental approach with 64 students divided into an experimental (32 students) and control group (32 students). The results revealed a statistically significant difference in the average scores of both groups for systemic thinking skills. Additionally, the post-application scores of the experimental group were higher than their pre-application scores. Therefore, the study concludes that the 4mat model is effective in enhancing thinking skills and geometric tendencies among ninth-grade students in "the triangles similarity unit". This study suggests that math teachers use 4mat model in their teaching practices and receive training on how to use it. The findings provide valuable insight into improving math education outcomes, and future studies could examine the 4mat model effectiveness in different contexts.
