Abstract:
One of the directions of National Education is to produce individuals who are able to overcome problems and emphasize active learning. Therefore, students must have communication skills. One of them is mathematical communication skills, namely the ability to express ideas or ideas in the form of tables, diagrams, or spoken language to express mathematical ideas and arguments precisely, concisely, and logically. There are several problems, one of which is students' difficulties in arithmetic material. This research uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method. The application of problem-based LKPD aims to improve the critical thinking skills in mathematics of class VII students in social arithmetic material at SMP Negeri 2 Madiun. This increase can be seen from the increase in student learning collaboration questionnaire results starting from the pre-cycle, cycle 1, and cycle 2 stages which show an increase in the percentage of student learning collaboration from 16%, 25%, to 53% at the high critical thinking stage.
