Abstract
This classroom action research aims to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of 7F grade students at SMPN 1 Mataram through the application of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). The low understanding of abstract mathematical concepts and the lack of connection between the material and students' real lives are the backgrounds for conducting this research. Through the CTL approach, it is expected that students can more easily understand mathematical concepts and improve their learning outcomes. This research was conducted in two cycles, which included the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Student learning outcome data was collected through a posttest at the end of each cycle, with daily test scores from previous material used as pretest data. The results showed an increase in students' mathematics learning outcomes after the application of the CTL approach, where the completeness percentage in the pre-cycle was 13.95%, while at the end of the CAR cycle, the completeness percentage reached 88.37%. This increase indicates that the application of Contextual Teaching and Learning is effective in improving the mathematics learning outcomes of 7F grade students at SMPN 1 Mataram.
