Abstract

The Use of the Inquiry Method in Improving Mathematics Learning Outcomes in Grade V Elementary School. This study aims to explain the steps of the inquiry method in improving student achievement in mathematics in grade V elementary school. The research was conducted at SDN 2 Jagong in two cycles which in the end the increase in learning achievement reached 88.5% as expected by the teacher in this lesson. These results indicate that the application of the inquiry method is very appropriate in increasing learning achievement on the theme of building space.
