Abstract

The research was initiated due to the low ability to make mathematical connections, the suboptimal implementation of the independent curriculum, and the limited use of mathematics learning media. The independent climate policy has brought changes that influenced school learning activities, particularly in mathematics. A crucial supporting aspect in the learning process is the use of learning media, which can significantly help develop students’ mathematical abilities. Students who frequently use real-life contexts in their learning can better solve mathematical connection problems. This research explores the use of sports as a context for mathematics learning. The objective is to assess the potential impact of using sports-contextual learning media on students’ mathematical connection abilities. The study employs a mixed-method approach involving one seventh-grade class in a junior high school in Karawang Regency. Research instruments include a mathematical connection ability test, a questionnaire to gauge student responses to using sports-contextual learning media on integer material, and an observation sheet to monitor student engagement in the learning process. The findings indicate that students are enthusiastic about learning mathematics when using sports-contextual learning media, which captures their attention and moderately enhances their mathematical connection abilities.
