This study aims to develop a realistic mathematics teacher's book using the 2013 curriculum scientific approach for grade V elementary / MI students that can be used by teachers to help improve the quality of mathematics learning at the elementary level in North Sumatra. The specific objectives of this research are: developing a class V realistic mathematics teacher's book using the 2013 curriculum scientific approach. This study uses a developmental research oriented on product development where the development process is described as accurately as possible and the product is finally evaluated. Van den Akker (1999) called it formative research where the research activities were carried out in a cyclic process and aimed at optimizing the quality of product implementation in certain situations. The subject of this research is the public and private fifth grade students of SD / MI in North Sumatra. This research was carried out in 2 (two) stages. In the first stage an initial analysis and validation was carried out by a team of experts and experts and a draft of a realistic mathematics teacher's book model was developed using the 2013 curriculum scientific approach for grade V elementary school. 2013 scientific curriculum which is thought to be effective in analyzing knowledge and weaknesses in the mathematics of North Sumatra elementary / MI students.
