Abstract

The aim of this research is to enhancing students' learning outcomes on exponent, roots, and logarithm through the implementation of Inquiry strategy. This research is a descriptive qualitative research with classroom action research approach which was done in three cycles. Each cycle consists of 4 steps, those are: planning, acting, observing and reflecting. This research had been conducted with 30 students (17 female and 13 male) studying in the 10th grade.
