ENHANCING LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THIRD GRADE STUDENTS AT SDN CIPUTAT 06 ON INTEGER OPERATIONS THROUGH THE USE OF BUTTON MANIPULATIVES, DEMONSTRATION METHODS, AND PRACTICE EXERCISES

Abstract

: This study aims to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of third-grade students at SDN Ciputat 06, specifically in the topic of integer operations. The research employs button manipulatives, examples and practice exercises, and demonstration methods to facilitate learning. The initial assessment showed that only 30.8% of the students met the Minimum Competency Criteria (KKM) of 60. After implementing the interventions in two cycles, the percentage of students meeting the KKM increased to 84.6%. This significant improvement highlights the effectiveness of using concrete learning aids and interactive teaching methods in mathematics education.
