Good practice elaboration

early

One of the problems in Indonesia is the problem of education. The quality of education in Indonesia is still relatively low. This can be seen from students' learning achievements that have not yet been seen. One of them is in mathematics lessons. Mathematics is often feared by most students, often even avoided.

This could be because mathematics is a less interesting subject, boring teacher's way of teaching, and unpleasant teachers. As a result, students are less interested in taking mathematics lessons.

Challenge

Looking at existing phenomena, that mathematics is a subject that is less popular due to various aspects, one of which is:

  • Mathematics is considered a less interesting subject.
  • The way the teacher teaches is boring.
  • Unpleasant teacher.

And so on. Our challenge as teachers is:

  1. How do we change the perception that mathematics is a less interesting subject to become the most popular subject??
  2. How teachers provide variety in learning, so that the teacher's teaching method becomes pleasant?
  3. How to change the view, that the unpleasant math teacher becomes the teacher who is missed?

Action

To realize this, a method or method and variations in teaching are needed. One way is by providing challenging educational games. One of the challenging educational games related to mathematics lessons is the Multiplication House game.

The multiplication house game is a game adopted from the Bingo game or XO game which has been modified in such a way that it can be used as a distraction in mathematics lessons..

Multiplication house game is a board game. The game tools needed are a game board and pawns.

In its implementation, we first teach how to play bingo or XO. Approximately once or twice students play bingo, students already understand the flow of the game. After students understand how to play bingo or XO, we direct the game using a multiplication house game board. In this game, children will be challenged to hone their multiplication calculation skills, You will also be challenged to set a strategy to win the game.

Lesson

Once students get to know the multiplication house game, students will always be challenged to hone their skills. This game can also be used as a competitive game between classes or between students.
