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 180 Pekanbaru academic year
2012/2013. The purpose of this research is to increase mathematics learning outcomes the
students fourth grade of SD Negeri 180 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 tes t students
knowledge and understanding through daily test. Results of this research showed that the average

increasing again to 80.9 in the second cycle and increased to 87.5 in the third cycle. While the
classical completeness in the second cycle and the third cycle is reached. This means that the
