Group Counseling with Stimulus Control Techniques to Improve the Basic Ability of Mathematical Learning

The use of Mathematics not only gives ability in quantitative calculations, but also in structuring the way of thinking, especially in terms of the formation of the ability to analyze, make synthesis, conduct evaluations to solve problems. Counting skills for students lately receive less attention both at school and at home. Some of the causes are the first the increasing number of calculators that are all modern so that children are lazy to think for themselves in completing calculations. Both numerology is not specifically obtained by children and only the parts that enter into mathematics as a result of counting is less popular. This happens because mathematics learning has only tended to be an activity of counting numbers, which seems to have no meaning and relation to improving thinking skills to solve various problems. Group counseling can help alleviate all types of student problems. By using the control stimulus technique included in group counseling, it will help students solve problems in student mathematics learning. Control stimulus techniques direct students by helping new stimuli that are able to improve students' basic mathematical abilities that are very important and become the basis of their daily life journey.
