Mathematics is an abstract object so it is more difficult for students to understand geometric material. The results of the PISA study show that only = 7.5% of children were able to work on geometry material, lower than statistics material = 61.9% and number material = 53.7%. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was an effect of applying the RME approach to the learning outcomes of the subject of beam and cube in fourth grade students at SDN Tenggarang 1 Bondowoso Regency. This study used a quasi-experimental research design with an equivalent control group design pattern which was carried out at SDN Tenggarang 1, Bondowoso Regency in the odd semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. The research subjects consisted of 28 students in class IVA and 26 students in class IVB. The data collection method in this study used pretest-posttest questions. The data analysis technique used is the Independent sample t-test. The results of the t-test are tcount (3.236) > ttable (2.006) which means that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Based on these results it was concluded that the RME approach was able to have a positive influence on student learning outcomes on the subject of blocks and cubes in class IV students at SDN Tenggarang 1 Bondowoso Regency with an effectiveness level of = 30.4%.
