Abstract

The process of learning mathematics in MTsN Lubuk Buaya Padang is still dominated by the teacher while many students are not active. Generally they just accept what the teacher explained, students have difficulties in understanding mathematical concepts. Responding to this problem, it is necessary to apply the learning that engages students play an active role so that the student is able to find its own concept and are able to solve problems related to mathematics is also a material that can improve learning outcomes. One model of learning that involves students actively engaged in learning activities and can improve students understanding of mathematical concepts is a cooperative learning model think pair square. Population in this study is the seventh graders MTsN Lubuk Buaya Padang, VII₅ is experimental class and VII₆ is control class. After the analysis, obtained χ² = 12.7. Based on the table χ², to χ²= 12.7 and db = 1 obtained p 0,05 mean H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted. Inferential comprehension of mathematical concepts and learning outcomes increased with applied cooperative learning model think pair square.

Keywords: cooperative learning, think pair square, understanding ofmathematical concepts, learning outcomes.
