INTRODUCTION One of the education problems faced by the Indonesian nation is the low quality of education for each level and education unit (Sumirat et al. , 2. This can be reflected in the PISA test results, where Indonesia always obtains the lowest score (Habibi & Suparman, 2. In overcoming this, schools as formal educational institutions that receive top priority to organize the teaching and learning process, have great duties and responsibilities. In fact, in carrying out teaching and learning activities that can achieve the goals that have been set is not Hasim & Abdillah. Student Worksheet Design Peration Material for Rank Shape A an easy thing. Therefore, an effective and efficient teaching and learning strategy is needed. Mathematics is one of the most fundamental sciences in every level of education (Siswono et al. , 2. Mathematics teaching is generally dominated by verbal introduction of formulas and concepts, without sufficient attention to student understanding (Pysztor et al. , 2. addition, the teaching and learning process almost always takes place with a mechanistic lecture method, with the teacher being the center of all activities in the classroom, students listening, imitating or imitating exactly the same way that the teacher gives without initiative (Kaskens et al. , 2. Students are not allowed or encouraged to optimize their potential, develop reasoning and creativity. Learning mathematics is considered to only emphasize cognitive factors, even though personality development as part of life skills is the task of all subjects in school (Grigg et al. , 2. Faced with that condition, mathematics learning must change its image from mechanistic learning to fun humanistic. Mathematics learning in schools so far has only used conventional methods (Saracoglu, 2. Teachers lack innovation in classroom learning activities, which can increase student interest and learning outcomes (Amrulloh & Galushasti, 2. (Habibi & Suparman, 2. Based on the results of initial observations made in the mathematics learning process at SMA Negeri 4 Waesala. West Seram Regency, it is known that students are very difficult to learn mathematics, especially on the operation material of rank form and root form. So to understand the material is not only enough with the delivery delivered by the teacher in class. Because, teachers when teaching are not oriented to student understanding, so students are very difficult to solve the questions given or in the exams carried out. This is exacerbated by the lack of textbooks or some kind of guide material that can be used to help students to study independently and train themselves to solve problems. The average book that students use to study is very difficult to understand. Because, in addition to a brief explanation, there is no special guidance that can help students to understand the material taught. The limited learning media, especially in studying the material of rank form and root form for students of SMA Negeri 4 Waesala, is the main reason for the need for practical, easy-tounderstand, interesting student worksheets, because they are equipped with pictures and systematically arranged in sequence with simple and clear language. One of the learning media that can be used is Student Activity Sheets (Subekti & Prahmana, 2. In learning using Student Activity Sheets, students are directed to discover and understand concepts from mathematics (Patresia et al. , 2. Learning activities using student worksheets can encourage students to process the material learned alone or together with friends in a form of group discussion (Arizen & Suhartini, 2. Student worksheets can also give students full Hasim & Abdillah. Student Worksheet Design Peration Material for Rank Shape A opportunities to reveal their ability and skills to act on their own in developing their thought processes (Ozkan & Kilicoglu, 2. With the use of student worksheets in learning, students are expected to be really active and independent so that they can absorb and remember longer what they learn (Ikalindhari et al. , 2. Making a learning student worksheet is very important to do, through this student worksheet it is hoped that students can learn independently, more enthusiastically and thoroughly because this student worksheet provides facilities for students to repeat parts that are important to learn (Apsari et al. , 2. , equipped with pictures and their simantics arranged in sequence with simple and clear language (Subekti & Prahmana, 2. (Kahar et al. , 2. Design student worksheets, peration materials, rank shapes, and root shapes to develop students' comprehension skills.
