Abstract

Effective education in this context involves preparing students to explore and apply mathematical knowledge in various situations, providing a strong foundation for the development of intelligence and thinking skills. This research focuses on the challenges faced by 4th-grade students at SDN 4 Sukajaya in solving word problems related to multiplication of whole numbers. The object of this study is the students' difficulty in understanding the concept of multiplication, while the subjects are 10 students who experience difficulties and a class teacher. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, aiming to provide a detailed account of the problems faced by students. The study found learning obstacles among 4th-grade students at SDN 4 Sukajaya in solving word problems involving the concept of multiplication of whole numbers. These obstacles include: 1) difficulty in understanding the problems, 2) difficulty in identifying mathematical concepts, and 3) difficulty in calculations. The contributing factors are: 1) internal factors, such as motivation, intelligence, behavior, attitude, and students' physical condition (e.g., fatigue), and 2) external factors, such as facilities, teacher quality, and curriculum. Efforts to address these obstacles include: regular problem-solving practice, the use of varied and enjoyable teaching methods and media to boost motivation, and cooperation between teachers and students in monitoring learning progress

Abstract

This research aims to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills through the use of the Dakon Math teaching aid. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were 30 fifth-grade students. Data collection techniques included observation, tests, and documentation. The research instruments consisted of observation sheets for teacher and student activities, as well as test questions in the form of story problems that measure problem-solving abilities. The results indicate a significant improvement in students' mathematical problem-solving skills from the pre-action phase to cycles I and II. The average score of students in the pre-action phase was 55.50, with a completeness rate of only 16.66%. After implementing the Dakon Math teaching aid, the average score in cycle I increased to 72.73 with a completeness rate of 56.67%, and in cycle II, it further rose to 79.27 with a completeness rate of 83.33%. These results demonstrate that the use of the Dakon Math teaching aid effectively aids students in understanding the fundamental concept of LCM and enhances their problem-solving abilities. Thus, it can be concluded that the Dakon Math teaching aid can serve as an effective alternative media for improving students’ mathematical problem-solving skills in the LCM topic at the elementary school level.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the types of difficulties students face and the underlying factors contributing to these challenges in solving stacked multiplication problems. This research is descriptive with a qualitative approach involving six fourth-grade students, selected based on their ability levels (high, medium, low) from test results. Data collection techniques include tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis techniques used in this study are data reduction, data display, conclusion, and verification. The research findings indicate that students experience difficulties in aspects of concepts and principles (procedural). Conceptual difficulties include mistakes in calculating multiplication results and retaining numbers, while procedural difficulties are shown by incomplete working steps and inaccuracy in adding retained numbers. The causes of these difficulties include internal factors, such as a low mastery of basic multiplication, understanding of place value concepts, and the procedure for column multiplication, as well as external factors in the form of teaching methods from teachers that are not yet fully effective. Students' difficulties in solving multi-step multiplication problems are caused by a weak understanding of concepts and systematic working procedures, hence a more concrete and repetitive learning approach is needed. Strategies that can be applied to minimize students' difficulties include the use of the finger math method, Dienes block manipulatives, as well as providing regular and gradual exercise problems.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low cognitive achievement of students in mathematics, particularly in division, with 61.90% of students not meeting the Minimum Mastery Criteria. The study aims to improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in understanding whole number division through the use of a concrete teaching medium, the counting box. This classroom action research was carried out in two cycles at SD Negeri Mangkubumi, Tasikmalaya, involving 21 students. Data were collected through observations and written tests. The research followed the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The results showed a significant improvement in student learning outcomes, with the average score increasing from 65.71 in the pre-cycle to 88.81 in the first cycle and 93.10 in the second cycle. The use of the counting box media enhanced students’ understanding through concrete and visual learning experiences, which led to greater engagement and improved mastery of concepts. These findings indicate that concrete media such as the counting box can be effectively used in primary mathematics instruction to support students’ achievement in basic arithmetic operations.
