Most teachers of mathematics are still implementing the traditional mathematics teaching, namely the learning of mathematics with expository relying on a single method with the cycle: explaining, giving example, ask questions and give the task in the classical style. However, mathematics teachers have difficulty: 1) serve the various needs / demands of the students in learning mathematics, 2) encouraging low achievers to improve student academic achievement, 3) encourage students to learn actively, 4) use and develop mathematical props and 5) encourage students learn through collaboration.

Through action research, researchers have the opportunity to develop teaching methods in order to overcome the difficulties mentioned above. Development of methods of learning refers to the recommendation Cockroft Report 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 of dynamically and flexibly: Exposition Method, Discussion Method, Method of Exercise and the provision of tasks, discovery methods, Method Problem Solving, and Usage Viewer Tool.
Development of mathematical models of learning through action research to overcome the difficulties of service of teachers to give students a positive impact, but in actual experience obstacles both technical, academic, and socio-cultural.

1.      Business teachers in meeting the academic demands of a wide range of students, encourage students to improve achievement of low achievers, encourage students to learn actively, and encourage students to learn through collaboration, can be done by: developing the student worksheet (BLM), formation of study groups, development of methods class discussions / group, development of teaching aids and educational media

2.      In the effort to develop a model of learning can be concluded:

a.       Teachers are still having difficulty in meeting the various demands of academic students.

b.      Teachers have developed a scheme to encourage students to improve achievement of low achievers.

c.       Master has managed to create conditions so as to encourage students to learn actively; but still have difficulty in developing the scheme.

d.      Master has managed to create conditions to encourage students to learn through collaboration.

e.       Teachers have tried to develop a method of discussion, problem solving and training and administration tasks; but still have difficulties in developing the scheme.

f.       In general, teachers have sought to develop learning methods in accordance with the purpose of action research; but teachers experiencing technical difficulties, and academic fundamentals. Technical difficulties of teachers in developing teaching methods that is the unavailability of equipment or facilities required learning. Academic difficulties of teachers in developing teaching methods are not yet perceived incompatibility of the teachers' mathematical learning models to the meaning of learning models in accordance with the theory referred to.

Put forward constructive suggestions to teachers, principals, government, universities and educational institutions (LPTKs).
