Abstract

Abstract: This research is based on the low grade of third grader’s mathematics learning in SDN 164 Pekanbaru, seen from minimum criteria of mastery that defined by school policy is 75. 21 students of 34 in total did not achieve minimum criteria, with average grade value is 63,82. This condition is caused by the teacher learning method is lack of variaton. Beside, teacher does not use creative media in learning process. Those things make students lack of motivation and barely understand what they learn. Due to these issues, the action taken is cooperative learning using napier bone props. The purpose of this research is to improve students’ mathematics grade. The form of this research is a class action research. The subjects are III class students in SDN 164 Pekanbaru, consist of 34 students where there are 18 male and 16 female. Research instruments are test sheets, teacher and students observation sheets, and documentation files. The results showed improvement from each cycle.
