Abstract

Representation has an important role in developing students' mathematical ability. Therefore, learning materials need to be developed. One of them is by implementing experience, language, pictorial, symbol, and application (ELPSA) framework. The aim of this research is to analyze students' mathematical representation on fraction material after implementing ELPSA framework. There were 20 students of Year 7 from one of the junior high schools in West Lombok, Indonesia who joined the lessons. However, only six students were involved in the interview section to investigate their answers about the representation of fraction. This research shows that the students still have difficulties in the representation of fraction. Errors in representation on fractional material also occur due to students' mistakes in understanding fraction unit. Students' representation of fraction should be conducted through exercise continually. © 2018 Institute of Physics Publishing. All rights reserved.
