<![CDATA[Abstract: This research aims to determine the benefits of the snakes and ladders game in supporting mathematics learning from a student's perspective. The subjects of this quantitative descriptive research were class IV students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Turen, Malang. Data collection used closed and open questionnaires, interview guides, and field notes. The results of the research showed that 83.6% of students stated that the snakes and ladders game really supported mathematics learning, while 16.4% did not feel the benefits of the snakes and ladders game in supporting mathematics learning. Students stated that the snakes and ladders game provided an opportunity to learn while having fun, so that learning felt exciting. Apart from that, the snakes and ladders game encourages students to be more active and more ready to learn, to pay more attention to and understand the material, to want to continue learning, to be enthusiastic about learning, to try and dare to answer questions, to discuss freely, not to be sleepy or bored. However, some students feel more comfortable learning mathematics by being explained directly by the teacher because they are used to learning using the lecture method.
