Abstract

This study aimed to improve student achievement in the multiplication and division materials through the problem-solving approach. This type is classroom action research, consisting of two cycles, each cycle consisting of two meetings. The procedures of this research include planning, implementing actions, observing and evaluating, and reflecting. Data collection techniques used observation sheets and evaluation of cycle tests. Data analysis techniques used descriptive analysis to calculate the percentage of teacher activity, student activity, and student achievement during the learning process. Data processing results illustrate the percentage of teacher teaching during the two cycles increased, namely the first meeting of the first cycle of 65.38% and the second meeting of 69.23%. The first meeting in the second cycle 78.84% increased to 92.30% at the second meeting. The percentage of student learning activities during the two cycles increased, namely the first meeting of cycle 1 67.85% and the second meeting amounted to 74.99%, while in the second cycle the first meeting amounted to 87.49% increased to 93.74% at the second meeting. Student achievement can be improved through the application of a problem-solving approach. This can be seen from the results of the first cycle test, the percentage of classical completeness of 60% with a mean of 59, an increase in the completeness of learning cycle 2 of 90% with a mean of 86.95.
