Abstract

Class III elementary school students are expected to be able to do multiplication sequentially both during the multiplication process and the accuracy of the results. However, students still do not fully understand the multiplication calculation operation, especially in a sequential way. This research aims to: 1) analyze the difficulties of learning mathematics in the Multiplication Calculation Operation material for class III students; 2) describe the factors causing these difficulties; 3) describe the efforts made to overcome these difficulties. This research includes qualitative research. The research results obtained: 1) Difficulty learning mathematical multiplication calculation operations experienced by class III Elementary School, namely: Difficulty understanding symbols, place value in multiplication, incorrect processes in multiplication, and calculations in multiplication; 2) Internal factors dominate the factors causing these difficulties; 3) Efforts made to overcome these difficulties are: the need to provide supporting training, guidance from teachers. This can be an essential note for teachers in mathematics and multiplication calculation operations. The impact of this research is as a consideration for mathematics teachers in teaching number multiplication material, as well as knowing more about the characteristics of students in solving number multiplication problems.

Abstract

The mathematical abilities of second-grade elementary school students in the multiplication operation material are still relatively low. Seeing this condition, teachers must pay attention to teaching students variations in the use of learning media that invite students to play while learning so that teachers can instil the mindset that multiplication is very easy. One learning media that can be used is the multiplication wheel learning media. This research aims to describe the design of multiplication wheel learning media on number multiplication material. This research is library research. Using the multiplication wheel learning media in Mathematics subjects in class II SD/MI can improve student learning outcomes because learning activities are carried out by playing while thinking. With learning media like this, students will not get bored and bored when participating in learning activities. The multiplication wheel learning media is also very easy for lower-grade students to use. This multiplication wheel learning media is three-dimensional. Because the media does not move and does not make sound, in learning mathematics, especially in improving material, the teacher must be able to instil the mindset that addiction is very easy. Using the learning media of the accretion wheel in Mathematics in class II SD/MI can improve student learning outcomes because learning activities are carried out by playing while thinking. The existence of learning media like this will make students not bored and not bored in participating in learning activities. Improved learning media is now also very easy for low-grade students to use. This accretion wheel learning media includes three-dimensional learning media because the media does not move on its own and does not make sound.

Abstract

The research aims to determine the difficulty of learning mathematics in fraction material in class V of elementary school. This research is qualitative research with a case study type. Data was collected by conducting interviews and giving fraction test questions to students. The results of this research show that there are difficulties faced by students in working on the mathematics problems that have been given, namely (1) difficulty understanding the concept of fractions and difficulties; (2) difficulty in calculating; (3) students are still not careful in calculating. The factors that influence the occurrence of mathematics learning difficulties consist of internal factors, such as students' lack of motivation to learn mathematics, and external factors, namely the lack of teacher activity in learning. This can be a consideration for mathematics teachers to create more creative and fun learning in mathematics learning, especially in elementary school fraction material.
