Abstract
This research is motivated by the low understanding of students^ mathematical concepts so that learning is applied that can improve the ability to understand mathematical concepts, namely GASING Mathematics learning. This study aims to investigate the description of increasing the ability to understand mathematical concepts of students who learn to use GASING Mathematics learning. The method used is descriptive quantitative research method. The subjects used were 5 students from different schools, namely SMP Negeri 2 Pagedangan with 2 students, SMP Negeri 3 Ambon with 2 students, and SMP Negeri 8 South Tangerang with 1 student. These subjects were given the treatment of online GASING Mathematics learning. The instrument used in this study was a test for understanding mathematical concepts given through pretest and posttest. The research data obtained were then calculated and described to draw conclusions. The results of this study indicate that there is no increase in the ability to understand mathematical concepts by learning Mathematics GASING online. This is because there are several activities in the learning process that are not implemented as well as students who are not used to learning online.
