ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN NUMERASI SISWA KELAS VII PADA MATERI PERBANDINGAN DI SMPI DARUDDA'WAH

This descriptive qualitative study aims to describe the numeracy skills of seventh-grade students at SMPI Darudda’wah on the topic of comparison. Involving 15 students in the 2025/2026 academic year, 3 students were selected using purposive sampling for in-depth interviews representing high, moderate, and low categories. Data were collected via essay tests, interviews, and documentation, validated through technique triangulation. The results revealed an average numeracy score of 46.00. High-category students (Score > 67.03) fulfilled all numeracy indicators, including data identification, mathematical operations for direct and inverse proportions, and accurate result interpretation. Moderate-category students (24.97 ≤ Score ≤ 67.03) mastered direct proportion concepts but struggled with inverse proportions due to inaccuracies in contextual analysis. Low-category students (Score < 24.97) were unable to construct ratio models or logically interpret results. In conclusion, overall student performance remains dominated by moderate and low levels, particularly in inverse proportion concepts and proportional reasoning.
