Abstract

Enrichment learning is given to students who have completed mastering the competence of a material by providing additional learning activities that contain activities, one of which is problem solving. The use of technology in learning is one way to attract students' attention and motivation to further explore the material being studied. One form of this technology is the calculator, where a more sophisticated technology will have an effect on the calculator function itself. Initially used only for basic calculations, it will be developed to be able to tackle calculations that permit the use of formulas. In this article, we will discuss the model or design of a calculator-assisted enrichment learning tool for grade VIII Junior High School students and its application in enrichment learning. This research includes developmental research using the Plomp development model, consisting of preliminary research, prototyping stage, and assessment phase. The enrichment learning tools developed consisted of lesson plans, calculator-assisted student activity sheets, and calculator-assisted final tests. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the average student said that through calculator- assisted enrichment learning, they gained new knowledge and became appalled because they had just learned about other functions of calculators apart from simple calculations. In addition, mathematics teachers have the desire to use calculators in several mathematics learning. © 2022 Author(s).
