That is mathematics learning with trade on ekpositori single method with cycle to explain, to give example, to present of question and to give classical task. Thus method was difficult the mathematics teacher into serve multiple requirement or students demand in the study of mathematics, encourage the students under-performing to increase they study achievement, encourage the students active learning, to use and to development mathematics aids, and also encourage the students cooperation learning. The teachers are making serious efforts to development of mathematics learning model such as below:

1. Development of student work book (LKS)

Students work book is supplement in form text matter which be completed by brief contents and exercise. Benefit of development work book such as give a chance to the students for autodidact or cooperation and do exploration activity, give a chance to the teacher for development some kinds of activity and also the work book was prepare a benefit document and give source alternative of learning matter for the students. Whereas resistance of development work book such as add to load the teacher work, necessary an interim budget, necessary the teacher knowledge and skill, necessary a development continuo, necessary a organizer technique of work book, and also necessary a school backing in order to carried out as comprehensive.

2. Formation of group learning

Group learning is group which member some students interrelated into cooperation outboard school-time. Benefit of formation of group learning such as encourage the students do discussion, give a context and various of learning situation, give a chance the teacher to develop a kinds of activity, and also give a chance to the students for cooperation.

3. Development of group discussion method 

Group discussion method which member some students interrelated into cooperation into school-time. Benefit of group discussion method such as give a chance to the students for initiative, think, and find of other method; coached the students settle for opinion other human; deepen a comprehension of concept; to related one concept with other; and also give a comment to the teacher. Whereas resistance to development of group discussion method such as the teacher comprehension about means of discussion method decrease relatively, the students aren’t familiar do discussion, necessary extra time for presentation the matter, the matter of discussion few relatively, to be dominated by a smart student, not appropriate paradigm of learning while obtain, and also culture resistance for example aphorism “silent is gold” or “empty barrel is loudly”

4. Development of aids and media of education

Aids and media are very important in learning mathematics because the students are need real example for construct them self. Benefit of aids and media of education such as giving activity variously, giving variously of learning method, giving variously context and learning situation, and also clarify a concept comprehension. Whereas resistance to development of aids and media of education such as aids isn’t relevant with a learning’s mathematics in Senior High School, using aids confiscate more time, necessary teacher skill and creativity to develop aids and media of education, necessary add to cost for aids and development of aids, necessary a high commit to school, and also isn’t relevant with learning paradigm occur.

The teacher ready try to development of learning method appropriate with purpose the activity research but the teachers are difficult of technics, academy and fundamental. Difficult of teacher technics in to develop of learning method this is not yet available of facilities or aids for to learning needed. Difficult of teacher academy in to develop of learning method this isn’t relevant of teacher perception about mathematics learning method with meaning of learning model and reference of theorem them.
