INTRODUCTION
Mathematics learning is one of the subjects that is very important and close to our daily lives. This can be seen from all daily activities related to mathematics. According to de Lange (De Lange, 2004)Mathematics ould be seen as the language that describes patterns -both P-ISSN: 2580-9326 E-ISSN: 2580 Journal of Elementary Education Volume 4, Number 2, February 2020 This communication ability is also the student's ability to connect real objects, pictures, and diagrams into mathematical ideas; explain ideas, situations and mathematical relations either orally or in writing in the form of pictures or graphics; explain and make questions about mathematics that are learned from a given situation (Elida, 2012). In this case, it is explained that this communication skill can be seen from how students can describe a mathematical situation in pictures, graphs, diagrams and others. Also, communication skills can be seen how students explain mathematical situations orally and in writing. There are several problems (Alamiah & Afriansyah, 2018) in elementary schools that must be addressed immediately, namely those related to the low mathematics communication skills of elementary school students. This also happens to prospective Primary Teacher Educationstudents. Ratnaningsih (2008) suggests various mathematical learning models that facilitate students in developing mathematical thinking skills such as reasoning, communication, connection, representation, critical, creative, and problem-solving. . From this statement it can be seen that mathematical learning models facilitate the development of mathematical thinking skills, one of which is student mathematics communication (Rokhmani, 2016). One of the learning models commonly used in mathematics learning in Primary School and Primary Teacher Education is Realistic Mathematics Education.
The orientation of RME is: reinvention, the introduction of concepts through concrete issues, or around the student's environment (Pasaribu et al., 2018). RME is a learning process that focuses on the introduction of concrete issues in the environment. In line with Although "realistic" situations in the meaning of "real-world" situations are important in RME, "realistic" has a broader connotation here. It means students are offered problem situations which they can imagine (Tandililing, 2003). From the above statement, it is stated that this realistic condition is explained more broadly when students can imagine the mathematical problems as well as including the mathematical realistic conditions. Realistic Mathematics Education was developed by Frudental (Streefland, 1991)and Streefland (Streefland, 1991)on mathematics connected reality, mathematics as a human activity and more focused on the substitute of mechanical learning mathematics to be realistic.
Gravemeijer (Gravemeijer. K.P.E, 1994) says that mathematics should be cultivated close to the student and must be linked to everyday life. Students are allowed to do the mathematization . It can be concluded that this RME connects the real conditions with the mathematics learning presented by the teacher. It is further revealed that mathematics learning designed by the teacher must be related to the daily lives of students. One of the teacher's efforts in presenting P- ISSN: 2580-9326 E-ISSN: 2580 Journal of Elementary Education Volume 4, Number 2, September 2020 meaningful and close to everyday life is the teaching cloth. Therefore, the teacher must be able to design a teaching material that is structured with the RME approach so that the learning presented feels close to students Teaching materials are a set of materials that are systematically arranged both written and unwritten to create an environment / atmosphere that allows students to learn (Jasmaniah;Fachrurozi;Yeni, 2015). Teaching materials in this research are printed teaching materials in the form of Student Worksheets. The scope of teaching materials to be produced includes (1) Title of Teaching Materials; (2) Learning Indicators; (3) learning objectives; (4) Description of the material; (5) Learning Activities; and (6) Student Activity Sheets. Good teaching materials range from building student knowledge based on experiences in everyday life to finding a mathematical concept (Putri, 2019). modules are an important component in learning because they are used to help obtain information on the subject matter (Parmin, & Peniati, 2012).
From the statement above, we can see how important the teaching material is to become a medium or bridge in learning to create meaningful learning with a specific purpose. Teaching materials that are arranged must be structured and systematic. This aims to make it easier for students to understand what material is in the book. Teaching materials should also be equipped with teaching materials, evaluation, group worksheets, and individual worksheets. This is done so that the teaching materials prepared are rich in material and evaluations that can measure the extent to which students understand the material presented .
The learning materials are prepared using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach, beginning with the posing of problems related to the real world of students (Sunismi, 2015). Through real-world problems that students have known, students can find the concepts or principles being studied so that students will better understand the concepts/principles being learned . The teaching materials that are designed begin with contextual problems that are close to everyday life. This is done so that they feel close to the problem and need to solve the problem. With this problem, they were invited to find their concept . This research is a qualitative descriptive study that aims to determine the objective description of the situation regarding the class conditions with all its characteristics. According to Sugiyono (Sugiyono, 2006)that descriptive qualitative research is a research method based on the usual postpositivism philosophy. It is used to investigate under natural objective conditions where the researcher acts as a key instrument. In this descriptive study the teacher/researcher objectively describes the student's abilities, student learning methods , student learning interests, and so on.
The subjects in this study were the A1 class of 2018 class A1 students of Primary Teacher Education IKIP Siliwangi, totaling 35 female students and 5 male students. The students are divided into 3 categories: 1). students who are active and interested in all things new. 2).
Students who can follow the lecturer instructions in learning. 3). Less active students. The instruments used in the study were 1). Questionnaire to measure the description of concern for the environment, 2) observation to see the learning situation using teaching materials, 3) interviews to dig deeper information from students about learning using teaching materials in learning environmental awareness.

Results
In this section will be exposed right research is done to the student of Primary Teacher Education Siliwangi Teachers' Training College. This research uses descriptive research in which the researcher is required to be able to extract data based on what the data sources say , feel, and do. In qualitative research, the researcher is not what the researcher thinks should be but based on what is happening in the field, experienced, felt, and thought by the data source.
By researching approaches descriptive investigator must explain, explain, describe the data that has been obtained by researchers through interviews with informants, as well as through observation and tests.
At the planning stage, this research was conducted in the Elementary School Mathematics Learning course. At this planning stage, the researcher made a lesson plan by adjusting the Realistic Mathematics Education learning steps using the teaching materials for 6 meetings. However, the planning that has been made face-to-face must be turned into an online meeting. This is because of the Covid-19 pandemic , the meeting is made Online. During a pandemic that is being felt by the whole world, especially Indonesia. All who are involved in the world of education do Home Learning (BDR). This resulted in this research being This research lasted for 1 month in 4 meetings online (online). There are several materials discussed in these 4 meetings, among others, learning to build flat and building a room for elementary students. Before researching class, our research team made preparations such as consulting with the supervisor of the course, Prof. Josua Sabandar. We conduct online discussions about the research we are going to carry out. Also, we also prepare and compile teaching materials that will be given to students. We provide these teaching materials when learning takes place as a guide and reference in learning.
The first meeting was started by giving a preliminary test on the mathematics communication skills of Primary Teacher Education students. This test aims to measure students' initial communication skills before learning is given. The test contains 10 questions arranged based on indicators of mathematical communication. Students take the test online using Google Classroom. Lecturers can also monitor who has taken the test through the Goolge Classroom through the lecturer's account.
Meetings 2 to 5 are conducted online using Google Meet and Google Classroom.
Learning to use RME approach with the following steps, giving the problem, explain the problem, complate the problem, compare and discuss answers and concluded (Hobri, 2010).
Each meeting is divided into 3 sessions, the first is an exploration session, in this session the lecturer provides problems, descriptions and simulations on how to provide mathematics learning for elementary students for certain materials. After that students are asked to study the teaching materials that have been given. The second session is the Design stage, students are invited to explain problems, solve problems and create or modify examples of learning mathematics, by changing the steps of learning, media or learning resources. Stages of the design are done outside the network (Offline), self-designing media learning of student and ways how to apply them in learning. At this stage students can look for ideas in the teaching materials that are presented. In the teaching material contains learning steps using media made from unused materials. The last stage is Allot, students are asked to share the results of their designs on social media so that they can be seen by lecturers and their friends in particular and all circles in general.
For an overview of the learning steps in each meeting , the researcher conducted online learning using Google's google meet on Monday April 6 2020 at 13.00-14.40. The initial step of learning discusses the identification of spatial structures such as cubes and blocks . Before  This is indeed a new thing and we must get used to adapting to technology that makes it easier for us to learn in this pandemic. Lecturers and students are also still groping in using the Video Conference application which is our media in this research. For that we tried it first before carrying out the research. In this case, IKIP Siliwangi makes it easy to access Google Meet by using an email account affiliated with the campus.
Apart from that, the students' diverse conditions in terms of intellectual and understanding were a barrier in itself. Some students use teaching materials that can immediately understand and make innovations in media making. Some use teaching materials still feel confused about how to create learning media for learning mathematics. Therefore Siliwangi.

Discussion
In Primary School Mathematics Learning course learning goes well and meaningfully by implementing teaching materials and the Realistic Mathematics Education approach. The results of this study are not only theoretically proficient students but also work made to hone their skills in making learning media. This teaching material based on Realistic Mathematics Education is indeed very useful for prospective elementary school teachers because it can become their reference in designing mathematics lessons for elementary school students. In this case the lecturer also previously provided an overview of how to teach some of the material taught in elementary schools . This is in line with the opinion that (Hobri, 2010)Teachers are advised to pay attention to every activity so that all students are actively involved in learning.
In addition to lecturers, students also active in creating and recreating their creations according to the notion that they have in designing a learner a mathematical media from recycled materials. By the opinion (Manopo et al., 2018) Students can interact and communicate their ideas. Students communicate the mere idea k a search for learning design and media as diverse (2) Explain mathematical ideas, situations and relations, orally and in writing with real objects, pictures, graphics and algebra; (3) Declare everyday events in language or mathematical symbols; (4) Listening to, discussing, and writing about mathematics; (5) Reading with the understanding of a written mathematics presentation; (6) Make conjecture, preparing arguments . Of the six indicators, the results of the pretest and posttest indicator number 3 are the indicators that get the highest score. This is because in RME learning, it focuses on learning that is close to everyday events (Ubaidillah et al., 2014).
There are several obstacles to the implementation of learning use will include signal quality of each student, which is different because they conduct online lectures from various regions.
