Abstract
The purposes of this research were: 1) to produce and find out the efficiency of instructional activities focusing on mathematical connection use problem-based learning grade 9 students based on the 80/80 criterion, and 2) to compare the ability on mathematical connection of grade 9 students after use instructional activities with 70% criterion. The study was conducted during the second semester of the 2015 academic year. The subjects, selected by cluster random sampling from 6 classrooms of 275 students, were 48 grade 9 students of Srinakharinwirot University, Prasanmit Demonstration School (Secondary). The instruments consisted of 12 lesson plan focusing on mathematical connection use problem-based learning and the mathematical connection ability test. The statistics used in this study were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and t-test for one sample. The findings of this research were as follow:
1. Instructional activities focusing on mathematical connection use problem-based learning for grade 9 students had efficiency at 82.37/82.45.
2. The mathematical connection ability for grade 9 students after being taught by instructional activities were significantly higher than 70 percent criterion at .01 level of significance.
