Realistic Mathematics emphasizes the construction of the context of concrete objects as a starting point for students to acquire mathematical concepts. Type of having realistic characteristics buttom-up approach in which students develop their own models and then the model is used as the basis for developing formal mathematics.

By doing the observations and analysis on the video tape recorder about learning mathematics, which has recorded a teacher who has been carrying out a realistic approach to mathematics learning, then teachers can examine and seek other alternatives for obtaining the development of concepts or ideas about concrete objects and objects environment can be used as a context for learning mathematics in building mathematical connections through social interaction.

The use of video tape recorder of learning mathematics with realistic approach can be
gives the following benefits:

1. Teachers have the opportunity to test the concrete objects and obyekobyek environment can be used as a context for 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 in junior high school mathematics in accordance with the principles PMRI
5. Teachers have the opportunity to reflect on the development of learning resources for teaching and learning process in junior high school mathematics in accordance with the principles PMRI
6. Teachers have the opportunity to reflect on the development of assessment activities for teaching and learning process in junior high school mathematics in accordance with the principles PMRI
