THE EFFECT OF THINK PAIR SHARE LEARNING MODEL ASSISTED BY WINGEOM SOFTWARE ON STUDENT’S MATHEMATICAL COMMUNICATION ABILITY IN SMP NEGERI 35 MEDAN

The purpose of this research is to find out whether there is an influence of the Think Pair Share Model Assisted by Wingeom Software on the Mathematical Communication Skills of Students at SMP Negeri 35 Medan. This research uses quantitative research methods. The research population was all class VII students at SMP Negeri 35 Medan. The sample class was selected by random sampling. The sample class, namely class VII-4 as the experimental class, is taught using the Think Pair Share (TPS) learning model assisted by Wingeom, while class VII-5, the control class, is taught using the conventional learning model. The results of the research looked at the value (sig) and posttest, so that the value of mathematical communication skills (sig) < 0.05 or 0.00 < 0.05. By showing an average posttest score for mathematical communication skills of 80.31 > 64.44. So it can be concluded that these results show that there is a significant influence of the Think Pair Share learning model assisted by Wingeom software on the mathematical communication skills of students at SMP Negeri 35 Medan.
