IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SPINNING CD GAME TO STIMULATE MATHEMATICAL LOGICAL INTELLIGENCE IN GROUP B CHILDREN AT TK RUHAMA KOTO MARAPAK

Mathematical logic in early childhood includes classifying, comparing, sequencing, recognizing patterns, and verbal reasoning. This study examines the implementation of CD Putar, a spinning game made from used CDs, to stimulate mathematical logical abilities among ten Group B children aged 5–6 years and one teacher at TK Ruhama Koto Marapak. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation across three learning sessions and analyzed interactively. The findings showed improvements in children's developmental categories. Initially, four children were Beginning to Develop (MB), four Developing as Expected (BSH), and two Developing Very Well (BSB). In the second session, five children reached BSB, two remained MB, and three achieved BSH. Children demonstrated classification, comparison, sequencing, pattern recognition, prediction, and verbal explanation skills. Teacher guidance and questioning supported implementation, while challenges included turn-taking, limited time, and disc safety. CD Putar provides an engaging play-based medium for stimulating mathematical logical abilities through structured activities and gradually increasing difficulty.
