Developing Bamboo Fraction Media for Teaching Fractions in Elementary School Level

Development of appropriate media for students in understanding the basic concepts of fractions is needed. This study aims to generate mathematical learning media in the form of Bamboo Fraction on the material fractions to elementary school students. Method development in this research using the 4D model, namely: define (user analysis, curriculum, and teaching materials), design (designing products with tools and materials), develop (assessment and revision), and disseminate (the trial to potential users). The research instrument was a questionnaire. The assessment team consisted of products: experts, peer, teacher elementary school, and elementary school students' responses. This research has resulted in media Bamboo Fraction math learning to help students understand the basic concepts of fractions. Researchers have produced a mathematical learning media Bamboo Fraction on the material fractions to elementary school third grade students. Expert assessment of the product got a score of 428 and a percentage of 85.6%, with very good category. Elementary third grade student responses to the instructional media of mathematics Bamboo Fraction obtained a score of 444 with a percentage of 88.8% votes. The value is in the interval is very good.
