The low learning outcomes in the equality of fractions material are due to the unavailability of mobile technology game media that can train and explore the pattern of equality of fractions appropriately. This study aims to produce a valid, practical, and effective mobile game for equality of fractions (MoGEF) to improve learning outcomes on equality of fractions material. This study uses research and development methods through analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects of this study were 29 students in the fourth grade of elementary school. Validity was measured by assessing two experts (mathematical education expert and information technology education expert). Practicality was measured through the results of the student response questionnaire, while effectiveness was measured through the posttest of student learning outcomes after using MoGEF. Data were collected using questionnaires and tests. The validity results obtained an average of 86.06% in the interval of 85.00% 100.00% with completely valid criteria. Practicality obtained an average of 4.659, which is in the interval of 2.50  3.25 with very practical criteria. Effectivenes shows the criteria of 79.83% berada pada interval 70.00%  85.00% dengan kriteria efektif. The effectiveness of the mobile game obtained a significance value of 2.127 > 2.048, which means it can improve the learning outcomes of elementary school students in the equality of fractions material. Therefore, the development of mobile games for equality of fraction is concluded to be very valid, very practical, and effective.

Politeness in language is a soft skill that needs to be instilled in children, especially elementary schools, because the times and technological advancements require soft skills of the younger generation to develop. As a result, many children have ethics that are far from what parents and their environment want. For this problem, this reason is used as a form of coping or a way of giving attention to elementary students so that politeness in language can be maintained well. Partners in this service are PKK mothers who have children at the elementary level who live in the Citra Bungoidal housing complex. With this language courtesy training it is expected that elementary students especially those living in Citra Bungo Pasang housing will have the modesty of language in their daily lives. The language politeness of elementary school students is expected to be not only polite to parents, but also to friends, and others who are the opponents. Based on the partner's problem, the proposed solution will be implemented in two stages, namely, the first stage by providing material on language courtesy, and strategies for speaking to elementary students who live in the Citra Bungo Village housing Sungai Tarung Village, Koto Tangah District. The material is presented using power points and infocus. After the language courtesy material was given to elementary school students living in Citra Bungo Village, Sungai Tarung Subdistrict, Koto Tangah Subdistrict, students were told to interact with their friends and parents. This is done to see whether the student understands and can apply it in communication. The results of the language courtesy training given to elementary school students residing in Citra Bungo Pasang housing were observed two weeks after the material was purchased. The results were very satisfying, because elementary school students residing in the Citra Bungo Pasang housing complex which had often said rudely had changed. Because these elementary students reminded each other not to say rude.

The research reveals a profile of reflective thinking of elementary school students in problem solving fractions based on his mathematical abilities. The instruments used in data collection is Test Problem Solving (TPM), interview. Selection of research subjects in a way given test is based on the ability of mathematics, namely mathematical skills of high, medium and low and further categorized and taken at least 2 people to serve as subjects. The research objective is: describe the profile of reflective thinking that math skills of elementary school students High, medium, and low. Based on the results of the study found reflective thinking profile and high ability students were as follows: (a) the step to understand the problems students have information/knowledge or data that is used to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done; (B) the planned step problem solving students have information/knowledge or data that is used to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done; (C) on measures to implement the plan in terms of information/knowledge or data used by students to respond, comes from inside (internal), could explain what has been done, realized the error and fix it, and communicate ideas with a symbol or image, and (d) the checking step back, namely information/knowledge or data that is used by students to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done. Profile of reflective thinking ability students lowly mathematics, namely: (a) at the stage of understanding the problem, students can determine known and asked in the problem, but the students' difficulties to explain the identification of the facts that have been done, the students explained the understanding vocabulary, and feel of existing data the matter is enough; (B) at the stage of implementing the plan, the students explained, organize and represent data on the issue, describes how to select the operation in solving a problem though students are not sure, and students' difficulty in explaining what he had done; (C) at the stage of implementing the plan, the student has information on calculation skills although the answer is not correct. Students difficulty in explaining about the skills calculations have been done, trying to communicate their ideas in the form of symbols or images, even if students rather difficult to describe, and realized there was an error when using a calculation skills and improve it; (D) at the stage of check, students' difficulties in explaining whether obtained estimates it approached, it makes senseKeywords: reflective thinking, problem solving, fractions, and math skills.

This study aims to: (1) develop thematic textbooks based on local wisdom of our best friend's environmental theme material for grade V elementary school students, (2) Know the validity, practicality and effectiveness of thematic textbooks based on local wisdom of our best friend's environmental theme material for grade students V elementary school. The development of thematic textbook learning media based on local wisdom uses the Research and Development (R & D) method. The development stages include: (1) Potentials and problems, (2) Data collection, (3) Product design, (4) Design validation, (5) Design revision, (6) Product testing, (7) Product revision (Sugiyono, 2016). The research was conducted with 33 students from class V SDN 2 Sendang Jepara Regency. Initial product development is a process of making media based on needs analysis. Expert testing or validation was carried out by 2 experts, namely media experts and material experts. The data collection method in this research is observation, interview, and questionnaire. The data analysis technique used descriptive analysis and comparison test of two independent groups, namely using the independent t-test. Based on the results of the trial, this thematic teaching material is very valid, very interesting, effective and can be applied in learning. This can be seen from the results of the validation test from three experts which show that the product is good. The results of the effectiveness test showed that the experimental class students had better learning outcomes than the control class.
