During this process of learning mathematics in school still has many obstacles. The problem of learning methods are used, the media, props and other factors. This effect obstacles in the process of learning mathematics in the classroom. Many students will be difficult to understand mathematics, from this fact through the study investigators intend give expression class action issues.

This action research aims to develop mathematical learning method that can meet the academic needs of students, enhance learning achievement, encouraging students' active learning, developing props and encourage cooperation. Action research involves teachers' teaching styles with learning model that was developed in a particular class at a given time period as well. Thus the learning context that is fixed classroom, students and teachers themselves, while learning context that is changing model of learning, teaching styles and learning other aspects including materials, teaching resources, the execution time of learning.

Development of mathematical models of learning through action research to address the problem of learning mathematics in the classroom, by: Developing Student Worksheet (BLM) aims to encourage students to improve learning achievement, active learning, and encourage students to cooperate with others; Formation study group aims to encourage students discussion groups, situation and context of learning varies; Development of a class discussion method; Development of teaching aids and educational media making it easier for students to understand material.

But the fact still have some obstacles which advance of other students active in domination by clever students, support costs and facilities of school. In addition, teachers are expected to change the method of learning mathematics from expository method in which teachers could convey the material, giving examples, to give the exercise but with a variation of learning methods that are used as methods of investigation, problem solving.
