| Abstract | The use of contextual problem in the learning of mathematics has been mostly ignored. The present study employed an experiment design to investigate the effect of coastal context as teaching materials (C-Math) on students' mathematical problem solving skills. Descriptive statistic and independent-sample t test were employed in the analysis to describe students’ mathematical problem solving skills (MPSS) and to test the hypothesis. Descriptive analysis showed that students’ mathematical problem-solving skills of two classes have increased. The results of testing the hypothesis concluded that the use of coastal context in learning mathematics significantly enhanced MPSS students compared to those with the conventional learning. This implies that the coastal context should be used as alternative context in teaching mathematics. In future, it is interesting to evaluate the effect of coastal context in C-Math teaching materials on the other high-order mathematical thinking skills.
