This study contributes to the implementation of GIMuR model for abstract concepts and optimizes students' mathematics modeling ability. The teacher and student activity during the implementation GIMuR learning model are including a good category. The existence of sequence step helps students in formulating hypotheses students. As well as the representation stage, students' mathematical modeling ability is trained through the disclosure of observations with various representations. From deep interview can be concluded that 1) teacher should back to the basic concept of vector rules before using various hand rules, and 2) guided the student to reveal the problem in the form of field line diagram sketch and formulas as a way to train students' thinking skills.
