Abstract

The current study aims (a) to obtain an overview of the grade 2 students^ skills in understanding the mathematical concepts during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the researchers intended (b) to investigate the skill level of grade 2 students in understanding the mathematics concept on fraction learning at the Pilot Laboratory Primary School of UPI Purwakarta Campus during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the current study, the data was obtained qualitatively within the case-study method. The current study involved teachers and students of the Pilot Laboratory Primary School of UPI Purwakarta Campus. The researchers have examined grade 2B students^ mathematical concepts skills in understanding the fraction. The findings (a) indicated that 92.3% of the students have mathematical understanding skills above the minimum passing criteria (KKM) are shown from the students^ test scores above 75.Furthermore, the researcher (b) classified the students into three levels of mathematical comprehension on fraction learning- high, medium, and low. The findings revealed that 15.38% of students were at a high level, 73% were at medium level, and 11.53% were inadequate. According to the concept comprehension test results, out of the seven indicators, students have low mathematical skills in using, utilizing, and selecting specific procedures or operations and applying problem-solving concepts or algorithms.
