This research focuses on the development of interactive learning materials to enhance the understanding of fourth-grade elementary school students regarding rounding. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted on the experimental group to measure its effectiveness. The objectives of this study are (1) to develop teaching materials using a clothing measuring tape and (2) to analyze the differences in learning outcomes between students using this media and conventional methods in the 4A and 4C classes at SDPN 252 Setiabudhi. The data analysis activities involve processing the data and applying statistical analysis. The results indicate a lack of significant improvement in students' understanding of rounding concepts after the implementation of interactive teaching materials. Statistical analysis shows that the average scores on the post-test did not exhibit a significant increase compared to the pre-test. In conclusion, the teaching method using a clothing measuring tape is less effective when applied to 4A and 4C students at SDPN 252 Setiabudhi.

The dangers of plastic waste are common and disturb both the water, land and air. Ecobricks are a creative way to reduce plastic waste by putting clean plastic waste into plastic bottles and the results will be used for human benefit. Making ecobricks is not yet popular among the wider community. This service activity will provide benefits to various parties, including the community, community service participants and the government. The targets for this service activity are Maura El-Mumtaz Elementary School students in the Tanah Seribu sub-district, Binjai City. Based on the results of community service activities that have been carried out, it can be seen that students can make seats from ecobricks. It is hoped that students will be able to express many more ideas for making ecobricks, not only making them in the form of chairs but also in other shapes. So this can be used as a business opportunity for the community  

Oral hygiene is an important factor in maintaining children's health, especially in elementary school age. This study aims to measure the effectiveness of education on tooth brushing frequency in improving oral hygiene in elementary school students. This study involved 50 students from grades 4 and 5 at Sekolah Dasar Inpres Batua 1 who were given educational interventions on the importance of brushing their teeth twice a day, correct brushing techniques, and the use of fluoride-containing toothpaste.

The solar system is one of the materials from natural science lessons taught in elementary school. However, many students have difficulty understanding and memorizing material about the solar system because of the many different characteristics of each planet. This happens because of the limited learning media provided by the teacher when introducing parts of the solar system.  The delivery of material to students must be with a fun method so that students are not easily bored and easy to understand every side of learning. games have great potential in educating children about the solar system, of course, using games that are fun and fun will be more effective for children to absorb all the information contained in the games they play. The design of this game uses the Design Thimgking method, so it can be concluded that this design is a problem originating from a sense of empathy, the need for a solution to an existing problem, then continue to test for improvement. Then the game is created as the main media, then accompanied by other supporting media such as Posters, X-Banners, Game Cards, Stickers, Keychain, and Pins.

It can be concluded that there is an influence of poster media on increasing teacher knowledge, attitudes and actions in providing measles rubella immunization because the p-value is <0.000.

Clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) is a reflection of a person's lifestyle who always pays attention to and maintains their health. Pulmonary TB is an inflammatory disease of the lung parenchyma due to infection with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria. Schools have the potential to increase the incidence of pulmonary TB if students do not maintain personal and environmental hygiene. The aim of this community service is to educate students about clean and healthy living behavior for elementary school students, especially preventing TB transmission in Oelomin Village, Nekamese District, Kupang Regency. The activity was carried out at SDN 2 Tunfeu, Oelomin Village, where students from grades 1 to 6 were educated about preventing TB disease, how the disease is transmitted, how to behave in a clean and healthy lifestyle to avoid tuberculosis. Before the activity took place, students were given a questionnaire about tuberculosis to determine the level of student knowledge. Then practice the behavior of washing hands with soap at school. At the end of this activity, students were asked questions about preventing tuberculosis and how to wash their hands properly. After the activity is finished, students are given another questionnaire to measure student understanding. The results of this activity show that the percentage of students who are not good at carrying out PHBS practices for preventing pulmonary TB is more often found in the group with the poor knowledge category (52%) compared to the group with the good knowledge category (20%). Students' lack of knowledge about pulmonary TB and PHBS is that 75% of students do not know the symptoms of pulmonary TB, namely coughing for more than 3 weeks. As many as 66.5% of students did not know the cause of pulmonary TB, namely Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. As many as 40% of respondents did not know about the transmission of pulmonary TB disease when sufferers sneezed and 54% did not know about the transmission of pulmonary TB disease when sufferers spoke. As an outcome of this activity, it is hoped that students will be able to implement clean and healthy living habits at home, as well as using masks when they are sick to prevent tuberculosis.

Education in elementary schools has the aim of helping students understand problems in everyday life. The national education system states that education aims to develop the potential of students to become human beings who have faith, noble character, health, knowledge and responsibility. In the context of mathematics education, the PMRI (Indonesian Realistic Mathematics Education) approach is used to help students understand mathematical concepts through real experiences and the context of everyday life. The data grouping learning trajectory using the PMRI approach aims to help grade 1 elementary school students understand the concept of data grouping. The use of sorting and choosing props can also improve the learning outcomes of low grade students in sorting and selecting certain objects or concepts. The aim of this research is that it is hoped that students can learn more effectively through direct experience, visualization and physical movements involved in the sorting and choosing process. Data was collected through interviews and tests. Based on the results and discussion of the research that has been conducted, it can be concluded that the design of a data grouping learning trajectory for elementary school students using an Indonesian realistic mathematics education approach is theoretically able to provide a deeper understanding of data grouping for grade I elementary school students. With the principles in PMRI, students are given the opportunity to develop a conceptual understanding of data grouping with the help of the images provided.

This research was created to discuss further how educators provide appropriate stimuli so that the learning process of elementary school students can run more effectively according to behavioristic learning theory.

Children at the elementary level have a tendency to play. A fun and relaxed situation will help children to increase their interest in learning. The development of learning media in the form of the snakes and ladders game has the impact of providing discourse about alternative teaching media for elementary level. It is hoped that the use of this learning media can improve the quality of teaching and learning activities at the basic level.
