The Development of Mathematics Learning Tools Based on Realistic Approach of Cooperative Model

Abstract

This research was development research which aimed to develop mathematics learning tools based on the realistic approach of cooperative model in cube and cuboid materials. They included lesson plans, student books, teacher books, student activity sheets, and Assessment Sheets. The study subjects were students of Class V SDIT Al-Fityan School Gowa. The development procedures used in this research were the Thiagarajan models or 4-D models which included four stages, namely the limitation stage, the design stage, the development stage, and the dissemination or socialization stage. The purpose of this research was to produce learning tools that were valid, practical, and effective based on the realistic approach of cooperative model in cube and cuboid materials. Mathematics learning tools developed had been validated and revised so they were feasible to use.
