This research aims to increase the interest in learning and understanding of mathematical concepts of grade III elementary school students in data presentation materials through the Discovery Learning model assisted by Data Presentation Board media with a teaching approach according to the level of students' ability. Based on initial observations at Bandungrejosari 1 Public Elementary School, Malang City, it is known that students have low interest in learning and have difficulty understanding the concept of data presentation. This classroom action research was carried out in two cycles over four meetings, involving observation, learning interest questionnaires, and learning outcome tests. Success indicators are set when ≥85% of students achieve a minimum score of 70. The results showed a significant increase, where the average value of concept comprehension increased from 68.3 in the pre-cycle to 83.3 in the second cycle, and the completeness of learning increased from 48% to 89%. The average learning interest score also increased from 71 to 86.3. These findings prove that the Discovery Learning model assisted by Data Presentation Board media is effective in increasing learning interest and understanding of mathematical concepts. Practically, these results recommend the use of a combination of discovery models and visual-based concrete media as an innovative alternative in mathematics learning in primary schools.

This study addresses the low academic performance of fifth-grade students at Gili Timur 2 Public Elementary School in understanding the solar system topic within the Natural and Social Sciences curriculum. The problem was attributed to conventional teaching methods and the minimal use of visual media. This research aimed to enhance student learning outcomes by implementing an inquiry-based learning model integrated with interactive multimedia using Morph PowerPoint. The study adopted a Classroom Action Research design following the Kemmis and McTaggart model and was conducted in three cycles involving 39 students. Data collection techniques included observations, interviews, and achievement tests, with all instruments validated prior to use. The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in student achievement, with average scores increasing from 59.08 in Cycle I to 79.38 in Cycle II and 83.85 in Cycle III. The percentage of students achieving mastery learning also rose markedly from 23.07% to 97.43%. The integration of inquiry-based instruction with Morph PowerPoint effectively enhanced students’ conceptual understanding, engagement, and motivation. This study offers a pedagogical contribution by demonstrating the potential of combining Morph PowerPoint with inquiry-based learning in elementary science education a synergy that has received limited attention in existing research. Nevertheless, challenges such as limited instructional time and diverse student learning preferences should be addressed for broader application.
