Enhancing Elementary Students' Geometry Concept Understanding through GeoGebra and Color Nets Integration
Abstract
This study addresses the limited conceptual understanding of geometry (specifically the nets of cubes and cuboids) among Grade V students, who often rely on memorization rather than spatial reasoning. The research investigates the effect of combining GeoGebra, an interactive digital tool, with color nets as non-digital visual media to enhance comprehension. A pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design was used involving 21 students. Data were collected through concept tests and behavioral questionnaires, analyzed using descriptive statistics and a paired sample t-test. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students' geometry concepts after the intervention. Behavioral analysis also indicated positive attitudes toward mathematics learning with GeoGebra and color nets. The improvement is attributed to the media’s interactive and visual strengths, supporting students’ spatial reasoning. This study suggests that integrating digital and tangible media fosters deeper conceptual grasp and engagement in elementary geometry learning.
