Abstract
Mathematics and science are two fundamental subjects for students to master to solve problems in everyday life. The reality shows that the learning outcomes of Mathematics and Science are still quite lacking. This study aims to analyze the low learning outcomes of Mathematics and Science in elementary schoole at Bima District West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. This research is a qualitative descriptive study with the research subjects being upper-class students determination of research subjects by purposive sampling (based on research objectives). The instrument used to collect data is in the form of interview and documentation guidelines. The data were analyzed using the classical completeness formula to determine how many students completed and who did not complete. The results showed that the classical mastery for mathematics students at SDN Talabiu was in the deficient category (interval 1-20), with a mastery percentage of 13.51%, while the science learning outcomes for upper-class students were in the less category (interval 21-40). with a percentage of 39%. The low learning outcomes of Mathematics and Science are caused by two factors, namely students' internal factors and external factors. Internal factors related to psychology and physiology. External factors are influenced by family, school, and community conditions. The aspects of teachers and infrastructure strongly influence relationships with schools. Solutions have taken from low learning achievement caused by external factors (schools) by improving adequate infrastructure facilities and increasing teacher competencies, including educational, professional social, and personal competencies.

Mathematics and science are two subjects taught at the starting level packaged in theme-based Mathematics
Science learning in elementary schools aims to develop knowledge and understand concepts that are useful for solving problems in everyday life
From the data in table four above, if consulted with table one, it can be it is known that outcomes are in the very low category, namely with a completeness percentage of 13.51%, while for the science learning outcomes of upper class students are in the less category with a percentage of 39%
Summary
Mathematics and science are two subjects taught at the starting level packaged in theme-based Mathematics. Science is often considered a subject closely related to everyday life and is indispensable for learning. Science learning in elementary schools aims to develop knowledge and understand concepts that are useful for solving problems in everyday life. Likewise, learning Mathematics in elementary schools has a goal such that students can solve problems in everyday life. Science learning in elementary schools is related to the scientific concept of the natural environment. Science learning is expected to be one of the steps to understand the natural surroundings well. As the development of the mindset of students, the related subjects are Natural Sciences (IPA) [3]. Science learning is expected to be a vehicle for students to learn about themselves and their natural surroundings and further development in everyday life [4]
