The purpose of this study was to figure out students’ motivation and their geometry’s learning outcome after the make a match learning model was applied. Motivation and learning outcomes of math on grade VII at junior high school 2 Padang were low. One of the reasons was that the students thought that geometry was a difficult lesson. Another reasons was the students always cheat their friend's assignments.when working in group only a few students were active to do the task. It caused the students lack motivation in learning mathematics.A learning model that could improve students’ motivation and learning outcomes is make a match model together with Dienestheory.
