Abstract

The learning outcomes of fourth graders at SD Negeri 107400 B.Khalipah in mathematics subjects with the addition and subtraction of decimal fractions for the 2020/2021 school year are still low. To achieve optimal results, teachers need to use learning methods that can help students, namely by using solving methods. problem. This study used a classroom action research design which was carried out in two cycles.
