Students mathematical connection is one of ability that students must have. However, one of the reasons that students mathematical connection is still poor is the lack of enthusiasm of students while learning mathematics, and learning that does not give flexibility to students to empower the brain. Therefore, it is necessary to have an alternative learning that can develop students mathematical connection. This study used a quasi-experimental method. The subject in this research was 49 students from 3 classes in one of junior high schools, in Subang, West Java, selected by applying purposive sampling technique. The instruments used were mathematical connection test and attitude scale. Based on the results it was concluded that that there is a significant difference between enhancing students mathematical connection who are learning by brain-based learning model with students who learn by expository learning model.
