    abstract = {This research is done as an approach to improve or enhance the quality of education. It is also to
encourage teachers to become more aware of their own practice to be critical of such practices and to be
prepared to change it. It involves teachers in the inquiry and conducted by them and other teachers involved
in together. Accordingly, this study explores the effectiveness of teaching aids (concrete materials) in the
teaching and learning process of mathematics in primary schools. Eighty six people from Sekolah Kebangsaan
Rawang consisted of eighty three pupils year four, five and six and three teachers who taught mathematics have
been selected to participate in this research. Data collections are based on questionnaires to determine the
effectiveness on teaching aids that have been used in schools. Besides, the respondent’s perceptions of the
importance and role of teaching aids in teaching and learning of mathematics also the frequency of certain
teaching aids usage. The measures used are based on the value of percentage and mean. The result shows that
mathematics teachers have been using concrete materials as the main ingredient in starting a new methodology
to pupils. Hopefully, they will found it easier to absorb any new topic after applied this approached.}
