Abstract

Primary education is the beginning for the next level of education, and is an integral part of the overall national education system. Mathematics is a subject that discusses various basic skills such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, measurement, and understanding geometric shapes. Improving the quality of a person's life cannot be separated from how he or she learns. Learning is an integrated process. Learning achievement related to the ability to think critically and scientifically of elementary school students can be assessed based on the ability to read, observe and or listen to what is explained or informed, the ability to identify or make a number (sub) of questions based on the substance read, observed and or heard, the ability to organize the results of identification and review from the point of similarities and differences, and the ability to conduct a comprehensive study. Learning achievement is characterized by changes in overall behavior. Mathematics learning is the process of providing learning experiences to students through a series of planned activities so that students acquire the competence of the studied mathematics material. The demonstration learning method is learning that presents learning materials by directly demonstrating objects or how to do something so that it can learn it in the process. The subjects of this class action research are first grade students of Muhammadiyah 2 Kasegeran in the 2022/2023 academic year, totaling 8 students consisting of 4 boys and 4 girls. The object of this research is the Demonstration Method. The application of the demonstration method can improve the competence of grade 1 students of MI Muhammadiyah 2 Kasegeran. By using the demonstration method, student learning achievement in each cycle has changed and improved. This is evidenced by the achievement of pre-cycle test results with an average percentage of only 57% and at the end of cycle II reaching 90%.
