Abstract : Students in middle school learned “system of two linear equations” materials
focusing on the procedural steps of problem solving provided, they become difficult if given
problems with higher levels or different problems. This is because the ability of students
mathematical reasoning is relatively low. This is in accordance with the results of PISA tests
and evaluations (Programme for International Students Assessment) in 2015 Indonesian
students for mathematics ranked 63 out of 69 countries evaluated, it is also seen from
observations and interviews with teachers. One way to overcome this problem is developing
the learning design using Realistic Mathematics Education (RME). In this research, the
instructional design developed is Local Instruction Theory (LIT), teacher book and student
book. The purpose of this research is to developing the characteristics of learning design
topic system of two linear equations based on RME in class VIII SMP that valid, practical
and effective. This research will be combine two types of design research that is design
research of Tjeerd Plomp and Gravemeijer & Cobb. Implementation of learning trajectory,
teacher book and student book using design research Plomp. Then, for the development of
learning trajectory, designed by using design research Gravemeijer & Cobb. Validation is
done by an expert or lecturer of Mathematics Education, Educational Technology, and
Language. Practicality seen from the observation learning implementation, questionnaire
practicality and interviews with students and teachers. Effectiveness seen from the results of
student activities and the final test of learning. The data is analyzed descriptively.
