The data analysis technique uses quantitative descriptive data analysis.

This research was carried out in two cycles. The results of the research show that the use of the problem based learning method can increase motivation to understand the material on changing fractions to percent and decimal form in students at SDN 2 Jambukulon in class V. In cycle I the data shows that 5 students (25%) got a score above 60. those classified as "Very Poor", in cycle II the students who got a score above 60 were 17 students (85%) classified as "High".
