Abstract

Mathematics consists of a variety of topics requiring students to have the mathematical connection ability to link the concepts learned for a better understanding. This study aimed to identify students' mathematical connection ability in the mathematics learning employing Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). It employed a mathematical connection ability test as instrument to achieve the objective. This study was conducted in a junior high school in Aceh Besar regency, Indonesia. The participant of this study were 23 Year 9 students. Students test results were then scored and compared to the indicators of the mathematical connection ability. The results showed that 17 students have poor mathematical connection ability, while the other six students have fair ability. © 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved.
