Application of Cooperative Learning Model Type Think Pair Share for Improved Communication

This study starts from the low ability students' mathematical communication with the root cause of learning methods that teachers use less Variatif so that learning does not involve the entire student cause learning does not memorable and meaningful for students. Research aims to improve students' communication skills through the application of mathematical models of cooperative learning Think Pair Share. This research is a classroom action research. Results of this study indicate that learning through cooperative learning model Think Pair Share on the subject of trigonometry can improve
students' mathematical communication skills. Before being the act of learning through cooperative learning model type Think Pair Share, average initial test results is 47,79 to 18,42% in classical completeness. Once given the act of learning through cooperative learning model type Think Pair Share (TPS), the average test result communication skills in math is the average results of mathematical communication skills III is 80,53 to
86,84% in classical completeness. From the results of the study concluded that an increase in students' mathematical communication skills through the application of cooperative learning model Think Pair Share on Trigonometry.
