Abstract

This research is a research design with a qualitative descriptive type of research that aims to know mathematical concept understanding skills in fraction operation using Discovery Learning Model. Understanding mathematical concepts is an essential ability possessed by students in learning mathematics. This research was conducted by following the learning system in schools. This research uses instruments in the form of written tests and interview guidelines. The research subjects were students of class VII.6 SMP Negeri 4 Prabumulih, while the focus of the study was three students with varying abilities, were selected based on the results of the tests carried out later. The research was carried out in three stages, namely: (1) the Preparation Stage, (2) the implementation stage, (3) The final stage is data analysis. The data obtained will be analyzed by collecting, reducing, presenting, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that the ability to understand the concept of students on the material of number operations using the Discovery Learning model has emerged. The indicators that appeared the most are stating a concept, clarifying objects according to specific properties according to the idea, and presenting the idea in various forms of mathematical representation. Meanwhile, indicators that rarely appear are using, utilizing, and selecting particular procedures or operations and applying concepts or algorithms to solve problems.
