As we have seen, Realistic Mathematics emphasizes the construction of the context of concrete objects as a starting point for students to acquire mathematical concepts. Concrete objects and environment objects can be used as a context for learning mathematics in building mathematical connections through social interaction. Concrete objects manipulated by the student within the framework of efforts to support students in the process matematisasi concrete to the abstract. There are two kinds matematisasi, namely: (1) matematisasi horizontal and (2) matematisasi vertical.

By doing the observations and analysis on the VTR on learning mathematics, which has recorded a teacher who has been carrying out realistic approach to learning mathematics, the other teachers were able to test and find alternatives to the development of ideas about concrete objects and objects lingkungans ekitar can be used as a context learning of mathematics in building mathematical connections through social interaction. A mathematical model of learning that has been recorded in the VTR certainly has its advantages and disadvantages. So teachers can discuss it to gain new knowledge by comparing the experience. The VTR itself also has drawbacks, such as: the limited point of view, not all aspects can be recorded, image quality, image capture moments that are not appropriate.

The use of VTR learning math with realistic approach can be
sebagaiberikut benefits:
1. Teachers have the opportunity to test the concrete objects and obyekobyek
Environment can be used as a context of learning mathematics in building mathematical connections through social interaction.
2. Teachers have the opportunity to explore and reflect on learning math concepts realistic.
3. Teachers have the opportunity to exchange experiences with other teachers about the development of realistic mathematical learning.
4. Teachers have the opportunity to reflect on the preparation of teaching and learning process (PBM) in junior high school mathematics in accordance with the principles of PMRI
5. Teachers have the opportunity to reflect on the development of learning resources for teaching and learning process (PBM) in junior high school mathematics in accordance with the principles of PMRI
6. Teachers have the opportunity to reflect on the development of assessment activities for teaching and learning process (PBM) in junior high school mathematics in accordance with the principles of PMRI
