Each cycle is done in four periods which include planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. Participant of the research is class IXB. It uses NHT ((Numbered Head Together) learning model. The technique of data collection uses observation and test. The students have score 68.91 in pracycle. There are still many students who can not achieve KKM 75. They have achieved this criteria only 56,25%. From the result of research indicated that the score average increased become 74,06 in the first cycle and 77,50 in the second cycle.
