It is a quasi-experimental quantitative research. The data of Pythagoras Theorem material were taken from the eight-year-students of SMP Negeri 4 Madiun of the even semester of the academic year 2013/2014 and those of opportunities material were obtained from the nine-year-students of SMP Negeri 3 Madiun of the odd semester of the academic year 2014/2015. The population used as a medium of generalization is all the students of SMP Negeri located in Madiun. The data collecting made use of questionnaires on students’ saturation. The statistical analysis employed is a non-parametric statistical test, namely the Mann Whitney test.
