PEMANFAATAN EQUATION DARI MS WORD UNTUK PEMBELAJARAN PENULISAN NOTASI MATEMATIKA

Abstract

In operation of a mathematical number there is a lot to do with symbols, especially with
regard to writing formulas. In combining several mathematical symbols that produce an
illustration of a formula when typed using a computer (keyboard), difficulties arise meaning
that it is not as easy as when written by hand. This is related to setting the spacing and
capitalizing of letters / symbols and setting the position of these mathematical symbols.
Microsoft office has provided that facility, namely Microsoft Word on the EQUATION AND
SYMBOL features. The purpose of providing this teaching material is to help high school /
vocational high school students majoring in science or engineering majors based on the exact
field to make it easier to report assignments given at school. The method used face-to-face
and direct practice on each computer with the help of assistants. From the observations,
students were able to complete at least 9 questions of the correct answers from the 11
questions given. Thus, it can be concluded that this community service activity is quite
successful.
