Abstract

Efforts to improve the quality of mathematics learning process is still being done to achieve the goals of mathematics education. However mathematics until now was difficult by many primary school students, one indicator is the low student learning outcomes. This study aimed to find out how the application of a combination of lectures, demonstrations and exercises with contextual learning approach to improving student learning outcomes in mathematics Elementary School Class IIIA 81 South Bengkulu.

Thus, learning by applying a combination of lectures, demonstrations and exercises with contextual learning approach to student mastery of the material in relation to the learning of mathematics to be taught basic competencies was able to achieve study defined indicators.
