Discovery Learning

This study aimed to improve student’s problem-solving abilities of tangent circle equations using discovery learning. This research was done in class XI IPA 4 SMA N 1 Palembang. This research method is used Classroom Action Research with discovery learning models. The instrument is used test instrument in the form of an evaluating matter of the tangent circle equation in the description form and the observation sheet for observation of the learning activity of the students.

Lack of innovative learning media that is interesting, practical and easy to use in learning such as listening to lesson modules or seeing powerpoint shows used by teachers, thus causing learning to be ineffective, unattractive, and slow to understand, this results in a lack of understanding of mathematical concepts. Because of this, researchers are trying to develop an interesting and interactive learning media.
