The Introduction of Geobox Media to Develop Mathematical Logical Intelligence on Early Childhood

Abstract

At this time children's abilities in logical mathematics still need to be developed using various ways, one of which is by playing. In the process of playing can not be separated from the media, to develop mathematical logic intelligence, it is necessary media related to numbers and patterns of geometric shapes such as playing media Geobox. This article aims to determine the increase in children's mathematical logic intelligence when using GeoBox playing media. The type of research used is CAR (Classroom Action Research) where the research subjects are 10 children aged 5-6 years who study at the Qurratu'Ain TPA in Harun, South Kalimantan, during the pandemic the school closed while for the TPA the children were still learning. The results of this study indicate that the GeoBox playing media is able to make children's mathematical logic intelligence increase in pre-cycle from 10.0 to 12.5 in the first cycle and 15.5% in the second cycle. The intelligence possessed by children can be developed in an appropriate and appropriate way for children, therefore the selection of tools for children's play must be chosen carefully so that development is optimal.
