Mathematics is one material that most students do not like. In addition to being less attractive, elementary school students also tend to have grades among their peers.

This study aimed to analyze the relationship and influence of cooperative characters with student responses by using traditional games in learning.

The student's response to the traditional game of congklak was very good (55%). The results of the correlation test of the cooperative character of students in traditional games, namely, there is a relationship between the character of cooperation with students' responses to the traditional game of congklak in mathematics. It can be said that there is a relationship and influence of the character of cooperation with student responses.
