<![CDATA[Mathematics education in Islamic Elementary Schools, known as Madrasah Ibtidaiyah, is very important for helping students build their ability to think logically, reason systematically, think critically, and solve problems. Mathematics education still has many issues, like poor performance in learning, not enough students getting involved, and no new or creative ways to teach. Research shows that choosing the right learning models can help make the learning experience better and lead to higher student success. This study looks at how well three different math teaching methods Problem Based Learning, Realistic Mathematics Education, and Cooperative Learning work in helping students do better in math. This study used a literature review approach by looking at scientific papers from around the world that were published between 2021 and 2026. Data was gathered by documenting information and then examined using content analysis. The results show that each of the three learning models helps improve students' performance in math. Problem-based learning helps students get better at solving problems, Realistic Mathematics Education makes it easier to understand math ideas by connecting them to real-life situations, and Cooperative Learning helps students work together, talk more, and take an active role in their learning. So, teachers should choose learning methods that match the goals of the lesson, the topic being taught, and the students' needs to help them learn math best.]]>
