This study aims to analyze the perspectives of mathematics students on mixing aloe vera extract with weak acid solution for hair health and softness. The research method used is descriptive quantitative through the distribution of questionnaires to 43 mathematics students at Medan State University and other universities in North Sumatra. The questionnaire consists of 19 statements covering aspects of knowledge (12 items), environmental awareness (4 items), and psychomotor (4 items) with a Likert scale of 1-5. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge about the benefits of aloe vera for hair care (mean = 4.02), but the understanding of weak acid solution and its mechanism of action was still moderate (mean = 3.12). The environmental awareness aspect showed a high value (mean = 3.76) which reflects the tendency of students to choose natural products. Meanwhile, the psychomotor aspect showed a moderate value (mean = 3.44), which indicates the limitations of respondents' skills in applying hair care products optimally. This study found a positive correlation between knowledge about natural ingredients and the tendency to use natural-based products for hair care. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for developing hair care product formulations based on natural ingredients that suit the needs and preferences of students.

The aim of this research is to obtain significant data and analyze the influence of the Team Assisted Individualization (T.A.I) learning model on the ability to solve mathematical problems on the subject of linear programming in class X students at MA Al Ittihad Sawangan Depok. The research method used is a quasi-experimental method (quasi-experiment). Sampling was carried out using a cluster random sampling technique with a research sample of 40 students, namely 20 students in class X IPS 2 as the experimental class and 20 X IPS 1 as the control class. The analysis technique used is a comparative analysis technique with the t-test, at a significance level of α= 0,05. The analytical requirements tests used in this research are the Chi-Square test for normality test and Fisher's test for homogeneity test. At a significance level of 0,05 with the Chi-Square test in the experimental class the price X2count <X2table (-33,38 < 9,488) while for the control class the price Homogeneity test at a significance level of 0.05 with Fisher's test, obtained F-count = 1,642 and F-table = 2,165 with a significance level of α= 0,05. Because Fcount < Ftable, H0 is accepted, so it can be concluded that the two classes have the same or homogeneous variance. Hypothesis testing uses the t-test with a significance level of α= 0,05. From the calculation results, t-count = 3,619, while ttable with degrees of freedom = 38 is 2,026, meaning t-count > t-table. Thus H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. This research concludes that mathematical problem solving abilities using the Team Assisted Individualization (T.A.I) learning model are better than mathematical problem solving abilities using the Expository model.
