Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve the performance of grade 4 students in fractions through Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). This research was conducted at SDN Cilendek Timur 2 Bogor, Indonesia. The research method used is Classroom Action research with Kemmis and Taggart model, which consists of: planning, action, observation, and reflection. This study consists of three cycles. The percentage of students who achieved fraction score more than or equal to 70 in the first Cycle was 12.5%, in the second Cycle was 56.5%, and in the third Cycle was 92%. The activities of teachers and students in accordance with the learning steps with RME reach 92.5% at the end of Cycle III. So it can be concluded that RME can improve student learning outcomes in fractions.
