Every day, the economic problems that exist in society are always changing. Meanwhile, solving it requires the ability to think analytically. Observations at school showed that the value of the analytical thinking ability of X IPS 5 students can be said to be low. One of the reasons is that students often only get questions up to the cognitive aspect, not the analytical aspect. So far, the average economic teachers at SMA Negeri 1 Lawang still teach by lecturing, whilst daily economic problems are only conveyed orally. As the result, many students still have difficulty understanding the contextual problems. Therefore, in this study, the Student Worksheet (LKS) was used as a medium to assist students in analyzing a concept with facts. This study used a guided discovery learning method as a learning method. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR) which consists of two cycles with two meetings.
