Abstract
Mathematical objects that are abstract in nature are their own difficulties for students in learning mathematics. Learning hands-on activity media an approach that involves direct activities and experiences students in manipulating objects to gain knowledge and understanding. The purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of learning hands-on activity media on the mathematical reasoning ability.The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of learning hands-on activity media on the mathematical reasoning ability of junior high school students. The approach of this research is quantitative by using the quasi-experimental method. The research design is pretest-posttest with experimental and control class. The subjects of this study were seventth-grade students of the junior high schools in three schools in Bandung, totaling 278 people. The research data was obtained using a mathematical reasoning ability test. The results of study show that; the reasoning ability of students who get hands-on activity media learning is better than students who get conventional learning.
