PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA TRAVEL GAME UNTUK PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA MATERI PERKALIAN KELAS IV SEKOLAH DASAR

Mathematics learning is a mandatory learning in schools, especially elementary schools, mathematics is often considered difficult because of the many formulas and numbers that are often done by memorization. Students of SD Muhammadiyah 08 "KH Mas Mansyur in Malang grade 4 have difficulty mastering multiplication 6 - 9 because the method used is still using the memorization method. This has led to a decline in interest in learning mathematics. As a solution to make it easier for students to solve multiplication mathematics problems 6 - 9, namely using arithmetic or called the finger counting technique. In accordance with the characteristics of grade 4 students who are active and like to play, this study develops game-based media, namely Travel Game.
Development is carried out with the ADDIE (Analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation) The five stages of the ADDIE model are used to analyze the needs in schools, planning on the media, product development and validation on media experts and material experts, then implementation to schools and evaluation.
The results of media development validation were carried out by media experts and material experts. The validation carried out showed that this media is very feasible to use with a material validation score of 90% and a media validation score of 96%. The implementation of the use of media in schools shows an increase in students' interest and understanding of mathematics learning, especially multiplication, thus the media travel game uses the rhythmic method in effective and innovative value as an alternative to multiplication learning in elementary schools.
