This research used quasi-experimental design involving two sample groups: experiment and control group. The sampling technique in this research used simple random sampling. The subject of this research was 54 students from the fifth-grade elementary school in Gunungpati Sub-district in the academic year 2017/2018.

The instrument used in this research was multiple choice test consisting of 30 questions. The test was used to obtain pretest and posttest score.The data analysis in this research used T-independent test to examine the hypothesis. The result of the study shows the significance level of 0.000 is less than α = 0.05 which means that there is different cognitive ability between the experimental and control group. Thus, the use of experiential learning-based teaching material in Mathematics is effective to improve the Mathematics cognitive ability of the fifth-grade student in elementary school.
