This study aims to describe pupils’ understanding of fraction division following the implementation of the Mathematical Ludo Board as a teaching aid. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and pupils’ worksheet (LKPD) results and were analysed descriptively. The results show that, after the learning activity, 19 of the 20 pupils in Class VI B at SDN 2 Selaraja (95%) achieved the required standard, while one pupil (5%) did not. Classroom observations also showed pupils’ participation in group discussion, problem solving, and hands-on practice during the game. The Mathematical Ludo Board required pupils to solve fraction-division problems before advancing, so mathematical practice was directly integrated into the game. The findings indicate that the Maths Ludo Board shows potential for supporting pupils’ understanding of fraction division and engagement in mathematics learning.
