Abstract

The rationale behind this action research was to improve the ability of class VII students to solve problems involving material numbers. This study was conducted in two cycles, both of which consisted of planning, action, observation and reflection. The first cycle showed that 31.25% of students gained mastery in learning or scored 75 and 68.75% did not or scored < 75. The average score of the class was 63.44% and problem-solving abilities of students in the first cycle was 68.8%. In the second cycle, 100% of students gained mastery in learning or scored 75. The class average score was 95.71% and problem-solving abilities of students in the second cycle was 96%. Use of game-based learning can improve the ability of students to solve problems of material numbers.
