<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of visual thinking approach to the mathematical connections ability. The method is quasi experiments with the design of this non-equivalent control group involved 66 students of fifth grade in one of the Elementary Schools in Pekanbaru. The instrument used is a matter of pretest and post test. The statistical analysis was a two-track ANOVA test and non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. The result of the research are: 1) improving students’ mathematical connection ability who get learning with visual thinking approach was not significantly different than students who get conventional learning; 2) there is no interaction between learning (visual thinking and conventional) with students' mathematical abilities (upper, middle and lower) on the improving students’ mathematical connection ability; and 3) there are differences in students’ mathematical connection ability who gain learning with visual thinking approach in terms of mathematical ability of students (top, middle and bottom).]]>
