The background of this study is that the learning motivation of students in participating in mathematics learning is very low, this can be seen in the basic ability test conducted before starting early semester learning, the average class score was 23.6 with only 16 students who had scores above the grade average of around 44.4%. In addition, from the results of interviews with grade X-4 children, information was obtained that learning in previous junior high schools was only teacher-centered and learning was carried out online, thus leading to lack of understanding of mathematics ion students. The lack of teaching aids is also one of the obstacles by teachers in the learning process. Students are also still shy in expressing opinions, so they still need to be guided in order to express their opinions. The purpose of this study is to apply the problem-based learning (PBL) learning model with a game approach to improve the learning outcomes of class X-4. This research was conducted at SMAN 8 Malang for two cycles and consisted of three stages, namely planning, implementation of actions and action results (do), and reflection (see). The results of this study showed that the results of changes in the final test results of cycle I and cycle II using the game approach showed a better development in the percentage in each cycle, which was 42.4%, with an average value of 21.36 in cycle I and to 94.4%, with an average value of 89.1 in cycle II. In this case, it can be concluded that the application of the PBL model with a game approach can improve the learning outcomes of grade X-4 students of SMAN 8 Malang.
