The research aimed to develop learning trajectory (LT) to teach the topic of integer division based on Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) which is valid, practical and effective through research on the development of Gravemeijer & Cobb types. The trial subjects were the third-grade of elementary school students in Padang. The research was supported by data collection techniques in the form of document analysis, observation, interviews, questionnaires, and tests. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and parametric statistics. The results showed that the LT developed to teach the topic of integer division using RME helped the teacher in learning. LT describes the characteristics of RME and facilitates students in a class. Besides, LT can help students to find integer division algorithms. Students are more confident in using their strategies for solving the contextual problems so that students’ mathematical problem-solving abilities also develop.
