Abstract

Abstract Geometry is one of the basic math concepts that are crucial for early childhood development because it relates to objects in the environment around children. Cooking class activity is one way to improve the ability to recognize geometry in children, through food processing activities. This study aims to determine the effect of cooking class activities on improving the ability to recognize geometric shapes in early childhood. This research uses a quantitative approach with the Pre-Experimental method, one group pretest-posttest type. The study population was students aged 5-6 years (group B) consist of 15 children from Paud Al-Manshurin, Bandung. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews including documentation. From the research results, it was obtained that the pre-test average score was 2.1 and the post-test score was 3.3. The t-test shows t value > t table (17.429> 1.761) with a significance level of 5%. These results indicate that cooking class activity significantly influences the child's ability to recognize geometric shape.
