Abstract
The third phase of the planned three-year research objected to test and to justify the results of the development of the Analytic Geometry module and cooperative learning models assisted with Macromedia flash animation to improve students’ critical thinking skills. Research subjects were students of the Study Program: Mathematics and Mathematics Education, University of State Medan, and Mathematics Education at Muslim Nusantara University, Alwashliyah Medan. This study used developmental research oriented to product development that refers to the 4-D model, which was defining, designing, developing, and disseminating. This third stage produced analytic geometry modules and cooperative learning models supported by Macromedia flash animation as well as instruments of critical thinking skills and positive attitudes toward the justified learning modules and models. These learning modules and models were arranged in the form of lecturer manuals and student books (modules).
Highlights
The mathematical mindset as science is deductive, the nature or theorem which is inductively exposed must be proven deductively

3.1 Research Results In accordance with the plan, in the third phase of the research period which is a continuation of the second phase of the period has been carried out in the two classes of research samples namely the Mathematics Education Study Program FKIP Muslim Archipelago Alwashliyah University as many as 29 students and 33 State University of Medan (Unimed ) mathematics study programs by implementing modules designed and a cooperative approach with the help of Macromedia Flash produces: A
Summary
The mathematical mindset as science is deductive, the nature or theorem which is inductively exposed must be proven deductively. The same results were found by the Task Force Team (2007) through self-evaluation in the Mathematics Education Study Program which included: (1) achievement of competency standards in low creative work skills, (2) teaching and learning process not oriented towards students, quality of academic guidance and guidance low thesis, (3) the implementation of academic evaluation has not applied authentic assessment, (4) the mindset of lecturers has not been synergetic and constructive. To maximize student interaction between students is done through cooperative approaches with maximizing group learning with classmates This is supported by the research results of Mulyono and Syafari (2009), competitive grants in the first and Second years of Syafari et al (2014, 2015) which show that the cooperative learning process is able to improve the ability of proof which means increasing the ability to think critically and student interaction, the results of the study recommends teaching materials that are designed according to the cognitive level of students and the real world context of students. The purpose of this research in the third year is to try out and to justify the results of the development of Analytic Geometry modules and cooperative learning models assisted with Macromedia flash animation in an effort to improve students’ critical thinking skills
