The Use Of Concrete Object Media To Improve Mathematics Learning Outcomes On The Elements Of Flat Shapes Material For 3rd Grade Students At SD Negeri 1 Lawang

Abstract

Mathematics is one of the subjects that is often considered difficult, frightening, unenjoyable, and serious.So students feel scared and lazy to study mathematics.In reality, Mathematics is very important in daily life because with mathematics we are able to solve several problems around us.This causes many students' learning outcomes in mathematics to not meet the KKTP
(Criteria for Achievement of Learning Objectives).The purpose of this research is to improve the learning outcomes of third grade students at SD Negeri 1 Lawang.By using concrete objects (surrounding objects, strings, and sticks) as the media, it is hoped that it can improve students' learning outcomes and understanding of the material on Flat Figure Elements.This research
was conducted on third-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Lawang using qualitative data.The research was conducted in 2 cycles.In the first cycle, only 40% of the students managed to achieve a score above the predetermined KKTP (75). In the second cycle, the researcher used concrete objects (thread, sticks) as learning media.and it turns out that around 85% of the students completed the tasks and achieved results above the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM).Thus, it can be concluded that the use of concrete objects as media can enhance students' understanding and learning outcomes.
