Item pernyataan didasarkan pada aspek akurasi, kesesuaian dengan model pembelajaran, serta pemenuhan syarat didaktik, konstruksi, dan teknis. Sebelum diuji kepada siswa, lembar kerja siswa divalidasi oleh tiga ahli pendidikan matematika dengan hasil yang sangat valid (3,73). Uji coba lembar kerja siswa dilakukan kepada 32 siswa kelas VII-1 SMPN 1 Kuantan Mudik, Kuantan Singingi, Provinsi Riau pada semester II tahun akademik 2016/2017. Setelah melakukan pembelajaran dengan menggunakan lembar kerja, siswa diberi angket respon.

Meskipun lembar kerja siswa sudah menggunakan bahasa Indonesia yang mengacu pada Ejaan yang Disempurnakan, ada beberapa siswa yang menemukan kata atau istilah yang tidak diketahui pada lembar kerja siswa. Namun, ini bukan masalah karena lembar kerja siswa dikembangkan untuk pembelajaran kelompok sehingga siswa dapat mendiskusikan hal-hal yang tidak mereka mengerti dengan anggota kelompok mereka.
