Abstract


This research explores the concept of linear equations in one variable owned by a 3rd-grade elementary school student in Bengkulu City. This student has a high impact on mathematics learning. The concepts explored were the definition of equality, the meaning of variables, and solution procedures owned by the subject. This research was qualitative and used a case study approach. The subject was asked questions that explored the meaning of linear equations in one variable (LEOV) and its solution. The results of this study stated that the subject had the following conception: 1) defining equality as similarity on equal-arm scales;  2) interpreting the variable as something whose value is unknown and is equated with dots, filling in things in a closed box and the like; 3) determining quickly the solution of LEOV for simple problems by counting out loud;  4) simplifying the equation by making a second addition side with a zero-sum generator number (additive inverse); and 5) having a highly practiced ability to solve LEOV involving positive integers and coefficients 1.
