This study was conducted to notice the effect realistic mathematics education in improving 8 th grade Middle-School students’ mathematical connection by employing measuring tools of a mathematical connection test and observation sheet, which were developed, was distributed to 37 experimental group students and 37 control group students, which makes 74 learners in total. This study was accompanied experimental by pre-test – post-test control group design. This participant was studying at 8.5 th grade as the experimental group and 8.6 th grade as the control group from a Middle-School 2 Candi Sidoarjo. Realistic Mathematics Education was implemented in the experimental group while the Control group was implemented to the current Curriculum. As a result of the conducted experimental group, it was being discovered that mathematical connection tests and observation sheets of experimental group students are better than control group students. It was be discovered too, based on the results of the mathematical connection test, 83.78% of students obtained N-Gain more than or equal to 0.7. Therefore, it is possible to say that realistic mathematics education is more efficient than learning in the control group.
