Difficulty Learning Mathematics Fraction Material at Elementary School

The research aims to determine the difficulty of learning mathematics in fraction material in class V of elementary school. This research is qualitative research with a case study type. Data was collected by conducting interviews and giving fraction test questions to students. The results of this research show that there are difficulties faced by students in working on the mathematics problems that have been given, namely (1) difficulty understanding the concept of fractions and difficulties; (2) difficulty in calculating; (3) students are still not careful in calculating. The factors that influence the occurrence of mathematics learning difficulties consist of internal factors, such as students' lack of motivation to learn mathematics, and external factors, namely the lack of teacher activity in learning. This can be a consideration for mathematics teachers to create more creative and fun learning in mathematics learning, especially in elementary school fraction material.

Abstract

The research aims to determine the difficulty of learning mathematics in fraction material in class V of elementary school. This research is qualitative research with a case study type. Data was collected by conducting interviews and giving fraction test questions to students. The results of this research show that there are difficulties faced by students in working on the mathematics problems that have been given, namely (1) difficulty understanding the concept of fractions and difficulties; (2) difficulty in calculating; (3) students are still not careful in calculating. The factors that influence the occurrence of mathematics learning difficulties consist of internal factors, such as students' lack of motivation to learn mathematics, and external factors, namely the lack of teacher activity in learning. This can be a consideration for mathematics teachers to create more creative and fun learning in mathematics learning, especially in elementary school fraction material.
