On May 7, 2025. Dozens of Mathematics Education Lecturers and Mathematics Lecturers along with Mathematics Education Masters Students of FPMIPA UPI carried out Community Service with the theme “Training on the Development of Integrated Mathematics Learning Media for Numeracy with GeoGebra Applications for Mathematics Teachers” on May 7, 2025 at MTs N 02 Bandung City. This activity consisted of an opening, pre-test, general material, a workshop on developing learning media, presentation of group work results, and then ended with a post-test. This activity was attended by Forty-eight mathematics teachers of MTs Bandung City

In the opening session, the head of the mathematics education study program and the mathematics study program of FPMIPA UPI expressed their gratitude to the mathematics teachers of MTs Bandung City who had welcomed this community service. A warm and positive welcome was also conveyed by the Head of MGMP MTs Bandung City, the principal of MTs N 02 Bandung City, and the Head of Pendmad Section of the Ministry of Religion of Bandung City. They realized and strongly supported the need for more interesting and easier-to-understand mathematics learning media in the classroom, in this case GeoGebra.

The next session, after completing the pretest, the teachers were provided with general knowledge about learning media and an introduction to GeoGebra features. In this case, it was delivered by Prof. Dr. Dadang Juandi, Dr. Jarnawi Afgani Dahlan, and Dr. Tia Purniati, M.Pd. The teachers looked very enthusiastic, especially when listening to the introduction of GeoGebra features where they were also accompanied by students as facilitators so that they could ask questions directly if there were features that they had not recognized before.

 

The activity continued with a workshop session where all participants were divided into 8 groups, namely geometry and measurement group 1, geometry and measurement 2, algebra 1, algebra 2, probability and statistics 1, probability and statistics 2, numbers 1, and numbers 2. Each group consisted of around 6 people and was accompanied by lecturers and students as facilitators. All groups were active in working together to complete their tasks, namely trying to recreate the GeoGebra assigned to each group and modifying it and then reporting their group work on the LKPD that had been prepared. Initially, they were quite worried about where to start their work, but with direction from the lecturer and their group facilitator, they began to get excited when they managed to carry out the steps. They generally faced difficulties, at the final stage of group work, they also had difficulty signing in to their GeoGebra, but thank God all managed to get through it. After that, all groups were also able to present the results of their group collaboration well while being observed by Dr. Jarnawi Afgani Dahlan, Dr. Tia Purniati, M.Pd., and other lecturers.

The last session, namely the posttest and evaluation, can be answered more easily by mathematics teachers.
