This study aims to determine the effectiveness of using Desatika educational game-based learning media in increasing interest in learning mathematics for fifth grade students. The research method used is a quantitative method research. The subjects in this study were stu- dents and teachers of class V SDN Ciputat Serang City. The research instruments used were questionnaires and tests. Data collection techniques used are observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the paired sample test of the significance value of the pre-post test showed that there was a difference in the average student interest in learning before and after using the Desatika educational game in learning mathematics. The results of interviews with teachers stated that the learning media that had been delivered so far sometimes made students bored while studying. These results prove that students' interest in learning mathe- matics is still low and the use of learning media based on Desatika education games is able to increase students' interest in learning mathematics.Keywords: Mathematics, interest study, educational gameAbstrak: Rendahnya minat siswa dalam belajar matematika dapat mempengaruhi hasil pres- tasi belajar siswa salah satunya disebabkan oleh media pembelajaran yang cenderung monoton dan membosankan.
