ABSTRACT This research was designed for determining whether the mathematics conceptual understanding of students class VIII.5 taught by using technique Numbered Head of Structured cooperative learning was better than that of students class VIII.6 taught by using conventional learning. This was an experimental  research wich used pre eksperimental design: static group comparison. The population in this research is the students in class VIII SMPN 28 Padang except class VIII.1 because it is superior class. The sampling was done by purposive sampling. The data was collected by using a on posttest mathematics conceptual understanding. The results of hypothesis test showed that P-value=0,036 was smaller than α=0,05, indicating that the hypothesis was accepted. Thus, it was concluded that the mathematics conceptual understanding of students class VIII.5 taught by using technique Numbered Head of Structured cooperative learning was better than that of students class VIII.6 taught by using conventional learning of SMPN 28 Padang.
