Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aimed to 1) to investigate the mathematical project work abilities of upper primary school students, and 2) to examine their satisfaction with mathematics camp activities. The target group consisted of 43 upper primary school students from BanLaoKhaemDongKlang School, selected proportionally from those who registered to participate in the camp. The research instruments included 1) mathematics camp activities, 2) an evaluation form for assessing students’ mathematical project work abilities, and 3) a satisfaction questionnaire regarding the camp activities. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean, and standard deviation. The findings revealed that 1) the overall mathematical project work ability of the students was at a high level (x̄ = 4.43, S.D. = 0.67), with a total of 15 projects produced, and 2) the students’ satisfaction with the mathematics camp activities was at a high level (x̄ = 4.37, S.D. = 0.76).
