The subject of this research was the 4^th grade students of SDN Mandalawangi, Cipatat Sub-district,  West Bandung District. There were 60 students that divided into 2 classes, class IV A and IV B. The research sample was taken using saturated sampling technique because the number of samples was equal to the population. The techniques of data analysis include normality test, homogeneity test and t-test. After getting the pre-test and post-test learning outcomes of both classes students, the score were analyzed until the final results stated by the difference average test. The score for control class was 8.4 and the average score for the experimental class was 34.6.
