IMPROVES THE ABILITY OF FINDING FORMULAS AREA OF THE TRIANGLE THROUGH THE DISCOVERY MODEL LEARNING AT SDN 1 TAPA, GORONTALO

Abstract

Learning mathematics is a lot of fun because besides focusing on theory, we can also focus on many formulas. Even mathematics is needed in everyday life as a tool in solving problems. However, this is not in accordance with real life at school because basically mathematics is a subject that is less attractive to students because it is considered difficult. This often happens at various levels of education, such as at SD Negeri 1 Tapa Gorontalo Based on the results of interviews with class III teachers at SD Negeri 1 Tapa, and observations during the teaching and learning process, it was found that the obstacles faced by the teacher when learning mathematics took place were that students paid less attention to the teacher when explaining material in front of the class, such as students only telling stories with friends, imagining, and playing, so students find it difficult to understand learning material. This can be seen from student learning outcomes, where the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) set by the school is 75, out of a total of 15 students, only 6 students or 40% achieve the KKM score (complete) while the remaining 9 students or 40% have not yet achieve KKM score (not completed).
