This study is a pre test-post test experimental control group design having a goal to analyze the role of contextual teaching and learning (CTL) on students’ mathematical problem solving ability (MPSA) and disposition (MD). The study involved 40 tenth grade students of a Madrasah Alyah (MA), a mathematical problem solving test, a mathematical disposition scale. The study found that on MPSA, its gain, and on MD, students getting treatment with CTL attained better grades than grades of students taught by conventional teaching. Even if, both students’ grades on MPSA were still at very low level, on MD, first group students’ grade on MD was at medium level and the second group students’ grade was at low level. Many students still realized difficulty on compiling MPSA. The other findings, there was no association between MPSA and MD, but students performed good perception toward CTL approach.
