Implementasi Media Roda Pizza Untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa Tentang Materi Perbandingan Pecahan Pada Mata Pelajaran Matematika Kelas 3 SDN Kotalama 5 Malang

Abstract

Abstract: This Classroom Action Research aims to enhance the understanding of third-grade students at SDN Kotalama 5 Malang regarding the concept of fraction comparison in Mathematics through the implementation of the "Pizza Wheel" concrete media. The background of this research is the low comprehension of students on the topic of fractions, as evidenced by preliminary observations where many students struggled to grasp fractions as parts of a whole. The use of conventional teaching methods in Mathematics led to student boredom and lack of interest, highlighting the need for more interactive learning tools. This research employed a quantitative approach with Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. Each cycle involved planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were 34 third-grade students from SDN Kotalama 5 Malang. Data were collected through tests assessing the understanding of fraction comparison concepts and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The results indicated that in the first cycle, 56% of students achieved learning mastery with an average score of 66.61. After the implementation of the "Pizza Wheel" media in the second cycle, student mastery increased to 82%, with the class average score reaching 82.94. These findings suggest that the use of the "Pizza Wheel" concrete media effectively improved students' understanding of fraction comparison.
