Improving Children's Mathematical Ability through Random Geometry Games at TK Kartika Jaya Pariaman Tengah

摘要

Children's mathematical ability in understanding geometry at TK Kartika Jaya Pariaman Tengah are still low. The purpose of this study is to improve children's mathematical ability towards their understanding about geometric forms. The type of research that is used in this study is classroom action research with research subjects in group B1 of TK Kartika Jaya, amounting to 17 technical children used in data collection in the form of observations, interviews and the results of the evaluation format then processed by percentage techniques. This classroom action research was conducted in two cycles referring to the theory of Kemmis and Mc Taggart. The results of the research in each cycle have shown an increase in children's mathematical abilities from the I cycle in general is still low and continued in the II cycle. In the II cycle the cognitive development of children increased and showed positive results, the highest trend was achieved in the willingness and courage of children in performing random geometry games at TK Kartika Jaya Pariaman Tengah, so that the results of the average mathematics ability of children exceeded the minimum completeness criteria set. It turns out that the ability of the children has increased through random play of geometry from cycle I to cycle II. Thus, it can be concluded that random geometry games can improve children's mathematical abilities at TK Kartika Jaya Pariaman Tengah.
