Abstract
This research is aimed to know: (1) Whether the increasing student-s critical thinking ability through guided discovery learning methods assisted by autograph higher than the students who were given guided discovery learning methods without autograph (2) How the interaction between learning and early math ability of student mathematical learning result. This study was a quasi-experimental study. The population of this study approximately 122 peoples. Randomly, two classes were selected from four classes. The first experimental class was given autograph assisted discovery method and the second experimental class was not given autograph. The data analysis has been done by analysis of two-way variance (ANOVA). The results showed (1) the increasing student-s critical thinking ability through guided discovery learning methods assisted by autograph were better than the students who were given guided discovery learning methods without autograph. (2) There was no Interaction between learning and early math ability of student mathematical learning result.
