PT Agincourt Resources (PTAR), in collaboration with the South Tapanuli Education Service, provided proficient counting and mathematics training using the GASING method (Gampang, Asyik, dan Menyenangkan) for elementary school teachers and students in the Batangtoru and Muara Batangtoru Sub-Districts on October 30, 2023, at SDN 100710 Hapesong Baru. A total of 140 teachers and students participated in this training.
Head of the South Tapanuli Education Service, Arman Pasaribu, stated that learning mathematics is still a challenge for many students, and as a result, some are reluctant to study and dislike the subject. However, with the GASING method, it is hoped that students can learn mathematics in a more enjoyable and engaging manner. GASING is a mathematics learning method developed by Prof. Yohanes Surya, Ph.D., to enhance numeracy skills, higher-order thinking abilities, communication skills, and collaborative attitudes. The South Tapanuli Regency Government aims to provide GASING method training to all fourth and fifth-grade elementary school classes this year. Additionally, this training is also intended to prepare students for participation in the National Science Olympiad (OSN).
