            As we know, realistic mathematics education stressed on how the students construct from the context of concret things in the daily activities. Concret things from the object in the environment then connected with the teaching-learning activities. The final destination of mathematics realistic education is ttudents is expected to formulated mathematics with their own language. So, students is given chance to construct their mathematics, then get the result from their own work. Student then make reflection from their job, in order they can know their own understanding about the materials that they study.

            According to Hans Freudental in Sugiman (2007), mathematics is human activities and must connected with realistic. So the students do their activities of study o mathematics happened mathematics process. There are 2 mathematization: (horizontal mathematics and vertical mathematics). Horizontal mathematics is occurred from the ral to mathematics symbol. Vertical mathematics is the process that occure in the own mathematics system such as ind the strategy how to solve the problem of mathematics, connected the relationship of mathematics concept, etc.

One of the example realistic mathematics education is the learning using Video Tape Recorder) VTR method. The explanation of teacher and the learning activities (like experiment, etc) are recorded. Then the students can see the video, repeated the process using VTR when the have difficulty in understanding the material.

This method is considered effectively because the students expected more understand with what they have studied. So, hoped the mark of student will be more and more improve than before.
