Improving Ability To Know Geometry Through Block Games Aged 5-6 At TKIT Cendekia

Abstract

This study aims to find out how to develop children's creativity through geometric shape blocks in introducing geometry to children aged 5-6 years. In developing children's creativity through the use of geometric shape block media in this game activity there are 3 ways (steps) prepared by the teacher, namely: explaining and introducing various geometric shapes from the geometric block media used, providing guidance and direction through the activity of assembling blocks geometry so that it can become a form of buildings, this activity is carried out repeatedly so that children's creativity can be trained and can develop according to expectations so that children's creative ideas will emerge with stimulation through the use of geometric shape blocks as media. This study uses a class action research method (PTK) which is carried out through stages. The results of the pre-cycle research showed 42%. As for the first cycle, it achieved a presentation of 70%. Then in cycle II showed that 83%. It can be concluded that beam media can improve the ability to recognize geometry.
