Writing skills according to experts in learning Indonesian are placed at the highest level of learning in the language acquisition process. One form of text that is important to learn in schools for writing skills is explanatory text. Explanatory text is a text that explains the process of a natural, social or cultural phenomenon logically and systematically. . Writing is one of the language skills that must be mastered by students. . However, in reality, there are still many students who have difficulty in understanding and writing explanatory texts. This study aims to analyze students' understanding of explanatory texts and students' abilities in writing explanatory texts in learning Indonesian in grade VI of elementary school. the number of samples in this study was 5 grade VI students. In this study, the researcher used a qualitative descriptive method. the results of this study indicate that students' understanding of writing explanatory texts is still low.
 
 

This study aims to analyze the level of understanding of the division concept among third-grade elementary school students. Understanding division is a fundamental component in mathematics learning, serving as a basis for more complex numerical operations in higher grades. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method involving 5 students from an elementary school in. Data were collected through diagnostic tests, interviews, and observations. The findings revealed that most students still struggle to grasp the concept of division, particularly in understanding it as a grouping process and as repeated subtraction. Factors influencing students' comprehension include limited use of varied teaching methods, insufficient application of concrete learning media, and differences in students' learning styles. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for teachers in designing more effective and contextual learning strategies to enhance students’ understanding of the division concept at the elementary level.

Understanding the basic concept of multiplication is one of the important competencies that must be possessed by elementary school students. This study aims to analyze the extent of understanding the concept of multiplication of whole numbers in third grade elementary school students. A strong understanding of the concept at the initial stage is very important as a basis for mastering subsequent materials. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques in the form of diagnostic tests. The test is designed to identify the level of understanding of third grade elementary school students. The subjects of this study were third grade elementary school students. The results of the mini-research showed that some students had difficulty understanding story problems so that they considered them to be additions, errors when reading multiplication problems, and misconceptions that emerged in solving multiplication problems. Students had great difficulty making mathematical forms from story problems. These findings provide an important picture for teachers to design more effective learning and adjust their learning needs. Keywords: understanding concepts, mathematics learning, multiplication.
