In teaching mathematics subjects, a teacher must be competent in designing innovative learning materials so that they can develop students' potential, which is expected to affect their learning outcomes and which is one of the influencing factors in student success in mathematics lessons is learning style. This study applies a descriptive method. The purpose is to describe the form of learning difficulties experienced by grade VIII students at MTs SA Al Murtadho Kedungwaru in learning mathematics on phytagoras theorem material referring to aspects of each student's learning style. In determining a subject in a study, it is carried out using the purpose sampling technique. There are three learning styles that will be studied further in this study, namely visual, auditorial, and kinesthetic learning styles. The research subjects of six students were taken representatives from a total of 34 students, in each class two representatives will be taken for those who have a visual learning style, two students also with an auditorial learning style, and two more students with a kinesthetic learning style. The techniques used to obtain the necessary data will be distributed questionnaires, test questions, interviews with students, and documentary evidence. This study applies two ways by comparing data from observation results with interview results and will also compare a person's assessment with various points of view with other people's perspectives. The results found in the study stated that there are difficulties in students including difficulties in understanding concepts, problems, and answering questions related to the Pythagorean theorem. So teachers need to find a learning style that is suitable for each student in order to help students understand the material so that students can solve the questions given appropriately.

This study aims to address the low learning process and outcomes of students in mathematics in grade IV of State Elementary School 138/II Daya Murni. The type of research used is classroom action research (CAR), which is carried out in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects in this study were 13 students, and the implementation was carried out in the second semester of the 2025 academic year. Data were collected through observation, field notes, documentation, and learning outcome tests. Based on the results of the study, the Take and Give Type Cooperative model was proven to be able to improve the learning process and outcomes of students. In the first cycle, the involvement of educators in teaching was recorded at 66.66%, while in the second cycle it increased to 73.33%. Likewise, student involvement in the learning process increased from 46.61% in the first cycle to 69.23% in the second cycle. A significant increase was also seen in the completeness of student learning outcomes. In cycle I, the learning achievement rate reached 76.92%, and in cycle II, it increased to 84.61%. The implementation of the Take and Give Cooperative Model has proven effective in improving the quality of learning, both in terms of process and outcomes. Therefore, this model can be a useful alternative for educators in increasing student engagement and learning outcomes in grade IV.  

Many teachers complain about the low learning outcomes of students in Mathematics lessons. This situation also occurred in grade IV at SDN Megamendung 01 related to learning the number of thousands. One of the causes of the lack of learning achievement is the lack of students' understanding of the number of thousands. As professional educators, teachers must be able to hold an active, creative, and fun learning process for students. Thus, it is hoped that it can encourage the improvement of student activities and learning outcomes through appropriate methods. This research was carried out at SDN Megamendung 01 Megamendung District, Bogor Regency from March to May 2025 in two cycles, involving 17 students, consisting of 8 boys and 9 girls. This research provides benefits both theoretically and practically for students, teachers, and related educational institutions. The order of learning improvement actions in the form of learning thousands of numbers from: (1) sorting numbers from small to large, (2) sorting the largest to the smallest using the number card tool in the teaching of Mathematics Class IV. The findings of the study show that there is an increase in student learning achievement through improving the learning process until the second cycle by applying the Tike And Give Learning Model. Learning achievement can be seen from the increase in final grades from the beginning of cycle I to cycle II. Where the average test score in the pre-cycle increased from 50.59 to 61.48 in the first cycle and to 80 in the second cycle. Therefore, it is hoped that teachers can improve their ability to manage the classroom and have an appropriate learning model to increase student participation and learning outcomes.

Some students feel that mathematics is unnecessary, resulting in their interest in learning being low and learning outcomes also being low. To overcome this, one approach that can be taken is experiential learning. This approach is based on four phases, namely real experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptual, and active experimentation. The four phases involve students in the learning process through acting, reflecting, thinking and applying. The aim of this research is to describe the learning process carried out using an experiential learning approach to trigonometry material to improve student learning outcomes. The research was conducted on 35 class X students. The data collection methods used were tests and field notes. The research results show an increase in student learning outcomes in three aspects, namely student learning completeness which reaches a score of more than or equal to 75, students' activeness in asking questions, arguing and working together in groups, and students' enthusiasm in taking tests given by the teacher. In conclusion, the application of experiential learning in class X trigonometry material can improve student learning outcomes.
