Abstract:
Background issue in this research were less active students in learning, students tend relax to
receiving study and students so less motivated in learning mathematics. In this implementation of
cooperative learning model Make A Match students were more motivated to learn in a group that
is looking for a partner while learning about a concept or topic, in a happiness atmosphere, in
addition to the training accuration too, precision and accuracy as well as speed. So that the
students more active in learning. This form research is classroom action research (CAR) with
research subjects the Student in fourth grade of SD Negeri 161 Pekanbaru academic year
2012/2013. The purpose of this research is to increase mathematics learning outcomes the
students fourth grade of SD Negeri 161 Pekanbaru with the cooperative learning model Make A
Match (for couples) implementation. The data in this research is the quantitative data obtained
from the data on the activities of teachers and students through observation and data test students
knowledge and understanding through daily test. Results of this research showed that the average
percentage of all teachers in the first cycle was 90.90% (Category: Very Good), the second cycle
was 94.31% (Category: Very Good) and the third cycle is 98.48% (Category: Very Good). While
the percentage of students learning activity in the first cycle was 90.90% (Category: Very Good),
the second cycle was 95.45% (Category: Very Good) and the third cycle to 98.48% (Category:
Very Good). Average students learning outcomes in basic score is 72.18 increased to 80.54 in the
first cycle, increasing again to 86.70 in the second cycle and increased to 89.55 in the third cycle.
While the classical completeness in the second cycle and the third cycle is reached. This means
that the cooperative learning model Make A Match (for couples) implementation can increase
Mathematics learning outcomes the students in fourth grade of SD Negeri 161 Pekanbaru
