Abstract

This study uses classroom action research conducted in Al-Mashum Middle School in Cianjur, West Java. It aims to determine the effectiveness of the Listening Team method toward students^ mathematical reasoning ability. The data is obtained by using a test instrument that is divided into two cycles, cycle 1 and 2 and implementing a students and teachers observation. The result shows that- (a) By using the Listening Team method, the students and teachers activity in cycle 1 has increased with the value of 56.9 of the average students mathematical reasoning ability. (b) In cycle 2 has increased with the value of 73.1. It shows that there is an improvement in students^ mathematical reasoning ability from cycle 1 to cycle to by the value of 16.2
