Learning the Concept of Volume Through Interactive Mathematics Activities at PIJAR Simokerto

The community service program was conducted by university students at the Pelita Insan Pembelajar (PIJAR) Foundation in Simokerto, Surabaya. During the second meeting, the learning material focused on introducing the concept of volume as part of basic mathematics that can be found in everyday life.

The activity began with a group prayer followed by an ice-breaking session to increase the participants’ enthusiasm and readiness to learn. The university students then explained the concept of volume using simple language and examples of objects commonly found around the children. The explanation was delivered interactively to make the material easier to understand and more engaging for the participants.

During the main activity, the children worked on worksheets prepared by the university students. The worksheets contained various exercises and simple tasks related to the concept of volume. Through these activities, the participants were encouraged to observe pictures, compare the sizes of objects, and determine the correct answers based on the material that had been previously explained.

Throughout the worksheet session, the university students provided guidance and assistance whenever the children encountered difficulties or needed further clarification. The participants showed great enthusiasm in completing the tasks and made sincere efforts to answer each question correctly. This activity helped them develop a better understanding of the concept of volume through structured and hands-on practice.

The session concluded with a discussion of the worksheet answers. The university students invited the participants to share their responses and discuss the solutions together. This interactive review allowed the children to reinforce their understanding of the material and learn from one another’s answers.

Overall, the activity was carried out successfully, and the participants demonstrated a good understanding of the concept of volume. The learning experience provided an engaging and meaningful way for children to develop their mathematical knowledge through interactive and enjoyable activities.
