Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the change in learning attitudes of students IX SMP LPMD Suka Maju Rambah in the 2017/2018 academic year regarding the increase in mathematics learning activities on curved side space building materials after learning through the application of the STAD cooperative learning model. The type of research used is a classroom action research, with a design used in two cycles. The population in this study were students of class IX SMP LPMD Suka Maju Rambah. Each cycle includes planning, action, observation, and reflection.
