The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) model of Kemmis and Mc. Taggart which is done in 2 cycles. Data collection techniques are done through tests, observations, field notes, and documentation. The results of this research have increased from the first cycle, the average value of students reached 63.4 with 30% percentage of completeness. Then in the second cycle, the average value of students reached 81 with a percentage of completeness reached 93%.
