| Summary: | This study aims to identify the effects of teaching methods which are games, number books and worksheets towards early mathematics achievement that includes the levels of knowledge, understanding and application among preschools. This study uses a quantitative approach which is a quasi-experimental method. The study involved 1107 preschool as a sample and used the Test of Early Mathematics Ability instrument to collect data. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics using the MANCOVA test. The study found that the three teaching methods which is games, number book and worksheet could increase the early mathematics achievement of preschool. However, researchers had found that the teaching methods only had a significant impact on the understanding and analysis early mathematics of preschool children's. In addition, the game method showed the highest achievement of early mathematics for preschool, followed by worksheets and number books. Therefore, game-based teaching methods should be used by educators as much as possible to improve early mathematics achievement of preschool. |
