Abstract

This study explores using arithmetic operation games in mathematics learning to improve the literacy and numeracy of grade 3 elementary school students. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and analysis of LKPD used in the learning process. The study results indicate that arithmetic operation games can increase student motivation and involvement in mathematics learning. Students find standing basic arithmetic operation concepts such as addition and subtraction through fun and interactive activities. In addition, this game also helps students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, using this game requires proper time management, and teacher skills in facilitating learning activities by learning objectives.
