The influence of mathematical tree usage of mathematics learning result, (3) to know the influence of mathematical tree usage on student creativity, and (4) to know student opinion about mathematics learning with math tree media. The design in this study is The Static Group Comparison. The researcher gave treatment to the experimental group by learning using math tree media. While the control group is a group that learns without using math tree media. Prior to the study, pretesting tests were conducted for each group. After being subjected to different treatment, each group is given post test. The results showed that: (1) Implementation of learning with math tree media consists of: a) The initial stage, namely the explanation of mathematical tree rules and division of groups; b) The core stage, that is, each group works together in constructing the leaves of the math tree; and c) The final stage of the presentation by each group and discuss the answers. (2) The result of mathematics learning of students who studied by using math tree media is higher than the result of students' mathematics learning with expository learning method. (3) Learning with mathematical trees allows students to solve problems with various interpretations, methods of completion or answers so that student creativity can flourish. (4) Studying with mathematical tree media preferred by students.
