PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN BERHITUNG MELALUI PERMAINAN ULAR TANGGA RAKSASA DI TAMAN KANAK-KANAK NEGERI 01 LEMBAH GUMANTI KABUPATEN SOKOK
Abstract
The primary problem in this research is the low numeracy skills of Group B children at TK Negeri 01 Lembah Gumanti Kabupaten Solok due to the use of monotonous conventional methods. This study aims to improve early childhood counting abilities through the application of giant snakes and ladders game media. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in three cycles with 20 research subjects. Data were collected through observation and documentation techniques. The results showed a significant increase in classical completeness, from 20% in the pre-cycle stage to 90% at the end of cycle III. The use of giant snakes and ladders media effectively bridges abstract mathematical concepts into concrete ones through enjoyable visual and kinesthetic stimulation. It is recommended for educators to integrate this physical activity-based educational game tool (APE) to meaningfully optimize children's cognitive potential without mental pressure.
