Abstract−Dakon Mathematics (Dakota) is a visual media teaching aid for elementary school mathematics (SD) grade IV,
which is used to determine the value of the Least Common Multiple (KPK) and the Greatest Common Factor (FPB). Several
researchers have built the Dakota props and have tested them. The results state that the Dakota teaching aids can improve
students' understanding. In previous studies, Dakota was operated manually without involving information technology. The
problem with the manual Dakota tool is in its flexibility and duration in providing accurate feedback to students. Internet of
Things (IoT) technology aims to solve flexibility problems and provide real-time and precise feedback to students. The
objectives of the research are threefold, namely: (1) Identifying the need for integration of Dakota tools with IoT, (2) Building
Dakota systems and tools integrated with IoT, (3) Evaluation of the performance of IoT-based Dakota tools. The first stage
carried out is problem identification. It has been carried out to identify development requirements for integrating Dakota tools
with IoT at this stage. The results of the system development needs that have been built have been designed to design the
system architecture, followed by designing system functionality, designing hardware for IoT, and designing block diagrams on
the system that has been built. Research has succeeded in implementing the IoT-based Dakota system. The second stage is that
all tool design and implementation activities have been carried out. The third stage evaluates system implementation results
based on functionality, feedback accuracy, and delayed response time. All functionality has worked 100% according to the
system design that was built, the feedback accuracy according to the system is 100%, and the delay (between the sensor and
the microcontroller) for 100 questions is 1 second, for the delay (between the microcontroller and the IoT platform) is 5 seconds.

1. INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is a compulsory subject for all students starting at the elementary level (Depdiknas,2006) [1]. Fourth-
grade elementary school students are at the level of concrete operational cognitive development, meaning that at
this stage, students learn a concept with natural objects around them. Therefore, media use for learning is essential
to present mathematical ideas for elementary school students (Prayitno & Faizah, 2019) [2]. This Dakota teaching
aid is a medium for learning combined with IoT to make learning more exciting and interactive. The workflow of
this Dakota teaching aid is that students insert marbles into the Dakota number holes to find the KPK & FPB
values. The infrared sensor detects the Dakota holes that contain marbles. Arduino Mega process to determine the
KPK & FPB values. Arduino Mega is a microcontroller board based on ATMEGA2560, with 54 digital input or
output pins [3]. After Arduino Mega gets an answer for the KPK and FPB value data, the data is sent to the
ESP8266 Wi-Fi to send to the firebase database, one of the reasons for choosing the firebase database because it
is excellent to use because of its real-time and responsive speed [4]. In addition, the stored data output to an
application so that the teacher can see student answers in determining the value of the KPK and FPB, and students
can see the answers on the LCD screen. The Dakota props have not yet integrated with IoT based on related studies.
Even though IoT itself is a technology that can bridge between the physical world and the world of
information, an example is how to process data from objects through an interface between the user and the
equipment itself [5]. Halim Wajdi, Novian Anggis Suwastika wrote another study that uses IoT for education, and
Rahmat Yasirandi with the journal title "IoT Architecture That Supports Stimulation of Motoric Development
Growing in Children aged 5-6 Years Using DropBox Games". The research is about the DropBox game being an
alternative media for teachers and medical staff to assess and develop children's motor skills [6]. Another
researcher, written by Rahmanto, Irvan Naufali, Novian Anggis Suwastika & Rahmat Yasirandi, with the journal
title "How is IoT Application To Train Gross Motor Skills Through Hopscotch Games ?”. This study discusses
the implementation of Hopscotch-type games to balance and coordination skills that support motor development
in children aged 4-6 years [7]. Crisnapati wrote the following research, Padma Nyoman, Made Agus Suryadarma
Prihantana, and I Putu Pebriawan with the journal title "Development of Counting Educational Games as Learning
for Early Childhood.” The research is about the use of IoT-based games for children aged 6-8 years in learning to
count according to the level that has been designed by the system added with some local wisdom from the island
of Bali, including Barong and Ogoh-ogoh [8].
Robiatun Nurohmah carried out further research with the journal title "The Effect of Dakota Media on
Cooperative Learning on Cognitive Mathematics Learning Outcomes for KPK & FPB Class IV SDN 3
Bendoagung". The third researcher uses the Quasi-Experimental method with the research design of
Nonequivalent Control Group Design Sugiyono (2014). The results showed that the pretest results from the
