The addition and subtraction materials in mathematics were considered to be difficult to understand by most elementary school students. The aimed of this study was to improve the ability to calculate the addition and subtraction of numbers in mixed count material in mathematics using the Abacus learning model in second grade students of Elementary School Kebraon II Surabaya, Indonesia. This study was an action research employing the Abacus learning model with the Kurt Lewin model approach with two cycles and consists of four main steps for each cycle: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The data were gathered through documentation, interview, observation, and tests. The data analysis was done by using the individual and classical learning mastery. The results of this research indicated that the implementation of the Abacus learning model can improve the second grade students score of Elementary School Kebraon II Surabaya, Indonesia up to 86.66% and can raise the learning achievement process as “Good” criteria between teachers and students.
