This study uses a quasi-experiment method in one of the VIII grade students of junior high school in Bandung City. The instruments research is understanding ability of mathematics test. The results showed that students who get Graspable Math learning with the average value of gain score (0,50) is better than students who get conventional learning with the average value of gain score (0,48). Thus it can be concluded that learning with Graspable Math can be used as an alternative to improve understanding ability of mathematics.
