High school student’s poor understanding of mathematics remains a common problem, particularly in terms of learning motivation and independent problem-solving skills. This situation is also experienced by students at Nurul Jadid High School, where mathematics lessons tend to be perceived as difficult and boring. This community service activity aims to improve student’s mathematical understanding through the implementation of the Fun Arithmetic game-based tutoring program, designed to be interactive and fun. The methods used in this activity include planning, implementation, and evaluation. The activity was implemented through group tutoring using an educational math game that integrates the concepts of counting, problem-solving, and healthy competition between students. Evaluation was carried out through observation, and pre- and post-activity comprehension tests. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' understanding of mathematical concepts, as indicated by an increase in final test scores compared to the initial test. In addition, students demonstrated a more positive, enthusiastic, and active attitude in participating in mathematics learning. Thus, the Fun Arithmetic game-based tutoring program has proven effective as an alternative learning strategy to improve students' mathematical understanding of Nurul Jadid High School and create a more interesting and enjoyable learning atmosphere.

This community service activity aims to improve elementary school students' multiplication skills through the use of the Multiplication Pocket Book in a tutoring program. The activity was implemented using a descriptive qualitative approach and involved 10 elementary school students as mentoring targets. The community service program was conducted over four sessions, each lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation throughout the mentoring process. The results showed a gradual improvement in students' multiplication skills, from understanding basic concepts to mastery of the 1-10 multiplication table. Furthermore, the use of the Multiplication Pocket Book, equipped with a learning achievement initialing system, increased student motivation, self-confidence, and active participation during the tutoring program. Therefore, the Multiplication Pocket Book can be used as a simple and effective learning medium in community service activities to support the improvement of elementary school students' basic arithmetic skills.
