Mathematicallconcept understanding is onetoffthe learning objectivesx of mathematics that mustsbe achieved byy students. But, learning activities in schools have not been optimal in facilitating students to improve the understanding of mathematical concept. Onepeffort toxovercome thissproblem is to applys the cooperativex learning model typeoThe Powerrof Twoo. The purpose of this researchh is to describe whether mthematicalkconceptjunderstandingk of students whoplearn to use thejmodel cooperative learning ThecPower ofkTwo are better than mthematical concept understandinghof studentsrwho learnpby direct learning. The typegof researchdwas a quasy experimentt with StaticvGroupfDesign. The reserch hypothesi was proven by tutest.
