Abstract

This study aims to describe the increase in activity and mathematics study result of third grade students of Karangtengah Baru State Elementary School with Realistic Mathematic Education (RME). The type of this research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). The study was conducted in two cycles. Data collection techniques used observation, tests, and documentation. The research instrument used validity, difficulty, difference, and reliability testing. The technique of analyzing student activeness data by calculating the average percentage of student activity, while for the learning outcomes test is done by calculating the class average value and calculating the percentage of classical completeness.
