PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PAPAN PERMAINAN MATEMATIKA (PAPER MATH)

Abstract

The research problem is the low mathematical ability of students in arithmetic operations. The research is included in Research And Development (R&D) with modified 4D development procedures. The purpose of this research is to develop a suitable and effective Paper Math product as a learning medium. The research subjects were seventh-grade students of SMP N 4 Pringsewu. The sampling technique used cluster random sampling. The research instrument consisted of a validation sheet, a student response sheet, and an arithmetic operation ability test. Based on the results of expert validation, it was obtained that the Paper Math media had very decent criteria and very good student responses, and the t-test was obtained that the average student learning outcomes using Paper Math media were higher than the average student learning outcomes who did not use the media. Paper Math. It is concluded that Paper Math is feasible and effective to be used as a medium to improve mathematical ability in arithmetic operations. Thus, it is hoped that paper math media can be used as a medium for math games to improve students' arithmetic operations ability.
