Understandingof mathematical concepts ability is one of the basic capabilities that should be owned by everylearners in the learning of mathematics. However, the 8^th grade of mathematics in Junior High School 10 Padang, students mathematical conceptsability was not optimal yet. It was becausethe learning process wasstill teacher-centered. To overcome this, teacher neededto apply the learning model to facilitatethe students for understanding of mathematical conceptsto improve their own knowledge.
