Abstract

Algebraic thinking ability is defined as an individual’s ability to build ideas and interpret patterns and functions using mathematical tools and symbols. This research method is descriptive qualitative which aims to analyze the algebraic thinking process of elementary school students in terms of learning styles. The research subjects were fifth grade students using purposive sampling with test and interview methods. The algebraic thinking indicators used and relevant for elementary school students are as follows: 1) generalization; (2) abstraction; (3) Dinamic thinking; (4) Modeling; (5) analytical thinking; and 5) Organization The four thoughts can be identified through student learning styles, namely: 1) visual; 2) hearing; 3) read/write; and. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman technique which includes data reduction, data presentation and conclusions. The conclusion of this study is that students’ learning styles affect algebraic thinking processes. The visual learning style makes it easier for students to recognize patterns through pictures or diagrams, while the auditory learning style prefers oral explana-tions. Students with a reading writing learning style have good abilities in analyzing writ-ten information, drawing conclusions from reading.
