Abstract

The purpose of this research is to improve the early childhood mathematical ability through the kinesthetic game. The subjects of this research were the children of group B at TK Damhil Gorontalo. The study was conducted from October to December 2017. The method used in this research was classroom action research. The procedure of the research include: a) planning, b) implementation, c) observation and d) reflection. The data were collected by observation, assessment, document analysis, and sound and image recordings. The data were analyzed using statistical-descriptive analysis. The result showed that early childhood math ability has improved. The first cycle assessment was 70% and increased by 90% in the second cycle. The conclusion of this research was the kinesthetic games can significantly improve children's early math ability and that children enjoyed the lesson as it is in accordance with children's learning style.
