Abstract

Arithmetic is the ability of every child in mathematics, such as activities to order numbers, count, and recognize numbers, to develop skills necessary for everyday life. This ability is the basis for developing mathematical skills and readiness to attend basic education. This research was conducted at the kindergarten level because many young children were not fluent in numbers and counting, especially in Group A. Most children were affected by the pandemic, so they had to study at home and not enter the playgroup beforehand. Marble Game is a media application that makes it easier for children to learn to count effectively in kindergarten. This study aims to determine children’s arithmetic skills in kindergarten and children’s arithmetic skills before and after using the Marble Game application media. The research method was factual and accurate, and systematically arranged. Data was collected qualitatively by observing the school principal to find learning media to identify the ability to count and recognize numbers in Group A and B children. Interviews were conducted with group B class teachers to determine the ability to count in group B children and how the children were prepared to continue to the basic level. Classroom practice was conducted for two weeks to determine the difference in the ability to count in group A and group B children before and after using the Marble Game application. Documentation was done during practical activities in class. The Marble Game application is considered effective because it has several levels according to the children’s abilities and age, so it is more fun and attracts the children’s attention and focuses when learning to recognize numbers and count. Marble Games Games in learning are considered effective in improving children’s arithmetic skills, shown by the increase in the ability of Group A children to write numbers correctly.
