Comprehending mathematics concept, explaining related between application and concept conception or algorithm, supply , accurate, efficient, and suitable in trouble- shooting. Using minding at pattern and nature of, doing mathematics manipulation in making generalizing, compiling evidence or explain idea and statement of mathematics. 2. Problem Solving covering ability comprehend problem, planning model mathematics, finishing model and interpret obtained solution. 3. Idea communication with symbol, tables, other media or diagram to clarify problem or situation. 4. Owning attitude esteem usefulness of mathematics in life.

d. The result of study Math

The Result of the learning can be used as a size measure to know how far student can master items which have been studied. According to Bloom Orin W. Anderson, 28;2001 result of learning consist of cognate domain, affective, and psychomotor.
