Elementary school teachers should know how their students construct a very abstract concept of mathematical knowledge. Elementary school children are still at the concrete operational stage, while the characteristic of mathematics itself is abstract. This study is descriptive qualitative research. Data collected by observation and documentation. The study describes how Elementary school students should build their mathematical knowledge based on Bruner’s Theory (enactive, iconic and symbolic stage) and how mathematics learning process provided by Elementary school teachers.
