Abstract

The objective of this research is to improve the ability of understanding of the concept arithmetic operation on various forms of fractions of the students in Grade VI of State Primary School Karangasem IV No. 204 of Surakarta in Academic Year 2017/2018. It used the classroom action research with two cycles. The activities in each cycle were planning, implementation, observation, and reflection.
