This study aims to improve the understanding of algebraic concepts among 8th-grade students through the discussion method. The research subjects were 30 students of SMPN Satap 3 Wolomeze. This classroom action research consisted of three cycles, each including planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The results showed an increase in students' average scores from 60 (pre-cycle) to 85 (cycle 2). Student engagement also improved from 40% to 85%. The discussion method proved effective in enhancing the understanding of algebraic concepts, particularly in linear equations and factorization.
