Abstract
Generally, students still confused in area and circumference formulas of square
and rectangle and applying the formulas to calculate their areas and circumferences
of square and rectangular shape. From the problems above, teachers follow-up of the
problems still had not maximal due to limitations of tools and medias to increase
students interest, so that teachers still used communicative learning and worksheets
as students references. This study aimed to produce teaching media in the form
Snakes and Ladders Mathematics with the subject were areas and circumferences of
two-dimentional figure for third grade of elementary school which the teaching
media proper to used. This research is a development (Research and Development)
by Borg and Gall but it was restricted to the limited product trials. The subjects of the
study were 57 students of third grade in SDN 1 Pungangan, SDN 2 Pungangan, SDN
Larangan Kulon Wonosobo. The data collection techniques used observations,
interviews, questioners and documentations which the data analysis techniques in the
form of descriptive quantitative and descriptive qualitative. The result of this
development was Snakes and Ladders Mathematics with the results of the final
assessment from media experts was 95% included in the category of very good
results and the result of the final assessment from media experts was 90% included in
the category of very good results, the results of evaluation of students' test averaged
of 88.84. The analysis results of students response to the media was 94.4% and in
the media acceptance questionnaire by teachers was 90%, this showed that Snakes
and Ladders Mathematics as teaching media had been declared valid and proper to
used in learning at elementary school.
