The background of this research is the low learning outcomes of mathematics and the in effectiveness of computational learning. Based on the result showed that the average value of midsemester examination of second grade students last year (2015/2016) is 54.2. The type of this research is quantitative research in the form of True Experimental Design with pretest and posttest group design. The research population is all students of Elementary School Pandean Lamper 01 Semarang academic year 2016/2017. The samples were taken from 57 students of grades IIA and IIB. Sampling technique in this research used purposive sampling. The data in this research is obtained through observation, interview, test, and documentation. The result of pretest-posttes showed that the classical percentage of pretest control class (50%) and pretest experimental class (53.85%) while in class percentage postest control class (56,94%) and postest experiment class (66,73%) t-test results are known that t-count  more than t-table (2,967> 2,005). The conclusion shows that the game with media dakon is effective against student learning outcomes.
