This study aims to determine the effect of the cooperative learning model type Make A Match on students' mathematics learning outcomes in the topic of perimeter and area of plane figures in class III of SDN Kersoharjo 2. This research used a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The population in this study was all third-grade students at SDN Kersoharjo 2, with a total sample of 29 students. The research instrument was a learning outcome test, and the data analysis technique included normality testing using the Shapiro-Wilk formula and hypothesis testing using the paired sample t-test with the help of SPSS version 26. The normality test results showed that the data were normally distributed with a significance value above 0.05. The paired sample t-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores. The average student score increased from 64.66 (pretest) to 84.31 (posttest). These findings demonstrate that the Make A Match cooperative learning model significantly influences the improvement of students' mathematics learning outcomes. This model has proven to enhance conceptual understanding, student engagement, and foster a more active and enjoyable learning environment. Therefore, the Make A Match model is recommended as an effective alternative for teaching mathematics, especially on the topic of plane figures in elementary school.
