Introduction Education is a need that must be fulfilled throughout life without education is impossible for humans to live and develop. Education is never separated from the words learning and teaching. Learning is a process of change in human personality, and the change is manifested in the form of increasing the quality and quantity of behavior such as increasing skills, knowledge, attitudes, habits, comprehension, skills, thinking power, and other abilities, while teaching instilling knowledge in students in the hope of understanding. Mathematics is a science that deals with abstract concepts arranged in hierarchical and deductive reasoning that requires gradual and sequential understanding. This makes students think that mathematics is a tricky subject. Many complaints from students about mathematics are awkward, unattractive, dull, and feared by many children. Complex calculations and complicated formulas make many children dislike math. Economic Mathematics is one part of mathematics that must be taken by students programmed in economic management studies at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Manajemen Indonesia (STIMI) Meulaboh. Efforts to overcome the difficulties of learning mathematics and improve the quality of education include implementing a learning model or method that can improve student learning activities. The method is a way or sequence to achieve the goals. The teacher needs teaching and learning activities methods, and their use varies according to the objectives to be achieved after teaching ends. A teacher will not be able to carry out their duties if he does not master any of the teaching methods that have been formulated and put forward by psychologists and education experts [1]. ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article history: Accepted This research aims to study the effectiveness of Kumon learning model against the increase of student grade at Economic Math subject at STIMI Meulaboh. A quasi-experiment method with a pretest-posttest is used. The population used by the model is students of Management Economics at STIMI Meulaboh that follow Economic Math subject at the odd semester of the 2018/2019 school year. The students in Room 1 consist of 30 students who are chosen as the sample. The test instrument is used to collect the data for research. The research implementation procedure provides a pretest at the beginning of the meeting and compares the result with the posttest after Kumon learning model is applied to all samples. The result of pretest and posttest are used as research data. The research result points out that Kumon Learning Model helps students to increase their grades at Economic Math subject at STIMI Meulaboh. Copyright © 2020 Politeknik Aceh Selatan.
