Abstract

This research aims to improve the ability to solve problems using fractions Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) students of class V SDN Sentol Laok. The subjects were students of class V SDN Sentol Laok many as 22 students. The experiment was conducted in three cycles., each cycle were two meetings that consist of planning, action, observation, and reflections.
