Abstract
The objectives of this research were 1) study how to teach by using an experiential learning approach and mathematical tasks and 2) examine mathematical connection ability in the similarity concepts. The target group of this research was 40 students grade ninth. The research method used three cycles of operational research using the concept of Kemmis & McTaggart (1998) and research instruments were lesson plans, reflective journals, a test, and worksheets. Data is collected by test and observation. Content analysis was used to content analyze, and method triangulation was used for data credibility. Presentation of content analyzes by analytic description. The findings showed that 1) teaching must choose life situations that are powerfully related to students' direct experience; use a wide range of tasks, e.g., practicable works and prior knowledge review; and probe what students learn by asking questions continuously. Also, the results showed that 2) the students had the highest progression in relating the concepts to daily life situations. Consequently, they related the concepts to other mathematical concepts and other subjects.
