<![CDATA[This research is a classroom action research that aims to improve the learning outcomes of mathematics through contextual approach to intensify scaffolding on VIIIAgrade students of SMP Negeri 2 Donggo Bima at the subject math of cubes and blocks. The subjects were VIIIAgrade students of SMP Negeri 2 Donggo Bima in the second semester of academic year 2014/2015 with 30 students consisted of 8 girls and 22 boys.

Based on the analysis of the frequency distribution aspects of the student activity was 35.56% in the first cycle and increased to 80% with “good” category. The classical completeness in cycle I have not been fulfilled yet which gained 26.67% and it increased in the second cycle with 86.67%, so the classical completeness met. Thus, the use of a contextual approach by intensifying the scaffolding can improve the learning outcomes of VIIIAstudents in SMP Negeri 2 Donggo Bima.]]>
