AbstractThis research was conducted due to the students mathematics communication ability in class VIII of MTsN Tarusan was still low. This problem could be seen from the result of observation done to the students and interview done to mathematics teachers in MTsN Tarusan. To overcome the problem, generative learning model was applied.
