Abstract

Mathematics is the main subject in every educational unit from elementary school to college. In fact Mathematics is often regarded as a difficult, scary, and boring lesson for most students. It is characterized by the lack of skilled students in arithmetic, especially multiplication and multiplication operations or mixed count. The use of media in mathematics learning is needed to assist students in understanding and reinforcing mathematical material. Examples of instructional media used to improve the skill of counting include Ular Tangga Hitung Campuran (ULTAH CAMP) and Puzzle Geometry. ULTAH CAMP is an arithmetic material learning media especially mixed count operation for elementary school children. Puzzle Geometry is one of the learning media that can be used to study the geometry material especially area and circumference the plane. Learning media ULTAH CAMP and Puzzle Geometry were introduced to elementary school children around the campus of the Catholic University Widya Mandala Madiun. This activity was held for two days outside the school hours in the form of educative games on the campus of the Catholic University Widya Mandala Madiun. Learning activities by playing make children easier and less bored in learning math. The use of ULTAH CAMP and Puzzle Geometry helps students perform mixed count operations and understand the area and circumference the plane.
