Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Think Pair Square (Tps) Untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Matematika Siswa Kelas XI IPA 2 SMA Negeri 1 Pekanbaru

Abstarct: This research is a class action research with the objective to fix the learning process and to improve student's math achievements by applying Think Pair Square (TPS) Cooperative Structural Learning Approach Model. The subject of this research are the students of class XI IPA 2 SMA Negeri 1 Pekanbaru at the second semester of academic years 2013/2014, which amounted to 32 students, consists of 16 male and female students with heterogeneous level of academic capabilities.
