The purpose of this study is to diagnose the student’s common errors and to investigate
student’s conceptual understanding in learning Quadratic Expression and Equation.
Quantitative method is used for analyzing data where the instruments was used to
determine error and student’s conceptual understanding in learning Quadratic Expression
and Equation is diagnostic test. The sample of this study are 25 students who seat for
the diagnostic test. Descriptive statistic in the form of percentage was used in data
analysis. The finding revealed that majority students unable to expand the quadratic
expression, errors involving positive and negative signs, wrong in calculation and wrong
concept in operation of addition, subtraction and multiplication. Video and slide were
produced for learning aids. Video and slide used Malay language so the students can
understand the concept easily.
