Pendampingan Persiapan Kompetisi Matematika bagi Siswa SDN 7 Mataram

Elementary school students possess diverse talents and interests, one of which includes an aptitude and enthusiasm for mathematics. These students require appropriate activity to nurture and develop their potential. Mathematics competitions serve as an effective platform to channel students' interest in the subject. This community service program was conducted with the objective of providing academic support to students at SDN 7 Mataram in preparing for mathematics competitions. The program was implemented from February to March 2025, comprising a total of 16 sessions. The method of implementation involved intensive mentoring through the administration of non-routine Olympiad-level mathematical problems. The outcomes of the program indicate that students became increasingly adept at tackling non-routine problems. This was evidenced by a marked improvement in their performance over the evaluation test on the mentoring sessions. It is anticipated that this initiative will contribute positively to the development of students’ mathematical interests and also their readiness in competing in mathematics competition.
