Abstract
Learning geometry is one of the materials that is considered difficult to understand by elementary school students, for example, students find it difficult to determine the elements of a circle and determine the combined volume of geometric shapes. In addition, so far the available geometry learning media is still limited to books and objects in the classroom so that it is still considered unattractive by students. The purpose of this study was to design mathematics learning through Geo Story for students in elementary schools. Geo story is a learning media in the form of a pop up comic book with the main character named Geo. This research is a type of development research, with steps and development guided by the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). The subjects in this study were grade VI students at an elementary school in Tasikmalaya City. The results of this study are (1) The creation of learning media in the form of Math Pop Up Comic Book which is more innovative, simple, and functional to make it easier for students to understand the concept of geometry (2) Students are able and skilled in solving mathematical problems on the concept of geometry (3) Adding insight to the teacher class on innovation of geometry learning media in elementary school.
