Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of algebraic thinking skills on students' ability to understand concepts in number pattern material. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method. This study's population includes all SMP Negeri 2 Wulla Waijelu students. The sample in this study was taken using a simple random sampling technique, with a sample of 77 students between the ages of 13 and 15 years. Data was collected using a written test in the form of description questions to determine the size of students' algebraic thinking skills and ability to understand concepts in number pattern material. The hypothesis test uses a simple regression test with a significance level of 5%. Based on the hypothesis test results, the ability to think algebraically significantly influences understanding concepts in the number pattern material.
