Tools are the learning media containing or bring the characteristics of the concepts of the studied. While medium is the learning media who has main function as a tool for learning. The purpose of the activity is to increase the capabilities of mathematics calculation of the first grade student at SDN Inpres Melam Hilli and SDN Inpres Kemiri about the concept of counting operation by utilizing the learning media. The counting operation intended in this activity are defined as the concept of the sum and reduction of natural number from 1 to 20. The methods used in activity are lecturing method, asking questions method, and gaming method.
