The Development of Mathematics Instructional Media on Fractions Using Domino Games for Grade 4 Students

Abstract

This research aimed to 1) development of mathematics instructional media on fractions using domino games for grade 4 students, 2) study the learning achievement of grade 4 students before and after learning. And 3) Determining student satisfaction with teaching media. The sample group consisted of four grade 4 students enrolled in the academic year 2024. The research instruments included 6 lesson plans, an achievement test, exercises, and a student satisfaction questionnaire. The research process began with a pre-test, followed by instructional sessions using the domino game as the primary learning tool, and concluded with a post-test to compare learning achievement. Data analysis involved calculating the mean, percentage, and comparing pre- learning and post-learning results.

      Results and Conclusion The findings of mathematics instructional media on fractions using domino enhance student learning and indicated a significant improvement in student’s learning achievement. The average pre-test score was 6.5 points, equivalent to 32.5%, while the average post-test score increased to 18.25 points, or 81.25%. Additionally, the efficiency evaluation of the instructional media, based on the E1/E2 standard, yielded a score of 80.83/81.25, indicating that the developed media met the standard criteria. Regarding student satisfaction, Student satisfaction assessment towards learning activities using domino games were at the highest level ( = 4.50, S.D. = 0.06). In conclusion, using the domino game as an instructional tool effectively enhanced students' learning of fractions in grade 4. It made learning more engaging and contributed to a better understanding of the subject matter.
