Utilization of Visual Media Multiplication Smart Board in Mathematics Learning in Elementary School

Abstract

This research uses the literature study method and is based on the opinion that elementary school students in both lower and higher grades believe that mathematics is the most difficult and frightening subject. This idea causes current mathematical practice to appear boring and rigid. It does not suit the characteristics of elementary school students, so student learning outcomes regarding mathematical calculations are not optimal. The research results show that using multiplication smart board visual media can overcome these statements so that mathematics learning will feel more concrete. Multiplication smart board media is a learning media that is included in the category of Educational Game Tools (APE), which is designed in the form of a board made of cardboard. Smart boards provide good benefits for conveying information so that it is exciting and compelling in the learning process.
