Abstract

The problem behind this research is the low ability to understand mathematical concepts of students at SD Negeri 1 Karangmangu, Kramatmulya District, Kuningan Regency. This is indicated by the number of students who have not reached the KKM. This study aims to determine the differences and increase in students' ability to understand mathematical concepts between students who use snakes and ladders media (experimental class) and classes that use picture media (control class). This is shown from the results of hypothesis testing Tcount > Ttable. This shows that the snake and ladder media has an effect on students' understanding of mathematical concepts. And there is an increase (gain) understanding of students' mathematical concepts in the experimental class using snakes and ladders educational media and the control class using image learning media. This is shown from the results of hypothesis testing Tcount > Ttable. This shows that the snake and ladder media has an effect on students' understanding of mathematical concepts. The main suggestion is for teachers to use game-based media so that students are more motivated to learn mathematics. One of the media used is the snake and ladder media.
