Tinjauan awal berdasarkan ujian diagnostik yang diberikan, mendapati sepuluh daripada dua puluh lapan orang murid di salah sebuah sekolah di barat daya Pulau Pinang menghadapi masalah dalam menguasai konsep pembundaran. Instrument kajian yang digunakan untuk mengukur minat murid ialah temubual, pemerhatian dan soal selidik. Manakala ujian pra, ujian pos dan latihan digunakan bagi mengukur tahap pencapaian murid. Tiga sesi intervensi telah dilaksanakan dengan mengaplikasikan penggunaan Kit Luncur dan Tulis. Analisa hasil pemerhatian dan latihan dilakukan semasa sesi intervensi. Soal selidik dan temu bual dilaksanakan selepas ujian pos. Hasil dapatan kajian melalui ujian pos menunjukkan nilai min ujian dikesan meningkat sebanyak 37.5 iaitu dari 32 meningkat kepada 69.5.
