Till now, most of mathematics teacher still implementing traditional mathematics teaching method, taecher teach mathematics with expository relying on a single method with the cycle: explaining, giving examples, ask questions and give the task in the classical.

Using this method, mathematics teachers have difficulty in: 1) serve students various needs / demands when learning mathematics, 2) encouraging low achiever student to improve their academic achievement, 3) encourage students to learn actively, 4) use and develop mathematical aids 5) encourage students to learn together.

Development of learning methods refers to recommendation of Cockroft Report (1982, 243, p. 198) which states that at every level of mathematics learning should be a vehicle for teachers to be able to realize the selection of one or several methods as dynamic and flexible: (1) Eskposition Method, ( 2) Discussion Method, (3) Exercise and Granting Duty Method, (4) Discovery Method, (5) Problem Solving Method, (6) Usage Viewer Tool.

Action research aims to develop a method of mathematics learning that can meet the wide range of students academic demands, improving learning achievement, encouraging students to actively learn, develop and encourage cooperation props. This action research confine himself within the scope of the teacher's teaching style that reflected by the learning model developed in a particular class at a given time period as well.

Development of mathematical learning models through action research to overcome the difficulties of teachers service to students give a positive impact, but in actual experience obstacles both technical, academic, and socio-cultural.

Teachers effort when meeting the wide range of students academic demands, encourage low achievers students to improve their achievement, encourage students to learn actively, and encourage students to learn through collaboration.

In the effort to develop a model of learning can be concluded that in general, teachers have sought to develop learning methods that accordance with the purpose of action research; but teachers experiencing technical, academic, and fundamentals difficulties. Teachers technical difficulties in developing teaching methods there is not enough learning equipment or facilities that necessary needed.

Teachers academic difficulties in developing teaching methods are incompatibility of  teachers perception about the meaning of mathematical learning model with the learning model referred in accordance with the theory.
