Analysis of the Needs of Mathematical Comics to Improve Students Numeracy Literacy Skills in Cartesian Coordinate Material

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the need for mathematical comics to improve students'
numeracy literacy on coordinate cartesian material. The sampling technique used by researchers
in this study is a purposive technique which is a sampling technique with certain considerations.
The data collection instrument used in this study was using a preliminary study questionnaire. The
preliminary study questionnaire used aims to determine students' needs for mathematics comics
and determine the level of student numeracy literacy. Based on the results of the research above, it
is known that there are still many students who do not like mathematics and have difficulty in
understanding the mathematical material provided. The learning media used also cannot make
students like mathematics. On the other hand, students are very interested in the idea of using math
comics in mathematics learning. Moreover, researchers assess that students' numeracy literacy
skills still need to be improved. Therefore, mathematics comics to improve students' numeracy
literacy skills are needed.
