All students were given diagnostic questions and the results were corrected for analysis. The learning process is done by using direct learning model. The subjects were 6 students divided into 3 criteria: students who have good, medium, and low mathematics skills. The type of research is descriptive qualitative research. The purpose of this study is to identify the ability of the students mathematical understanding through direct learning model. The ability of mathematical understanding is an important basic skill possessed by students. Furthermore, there is an association between the students’ self-confidence and their mathematical comprehension skills with a contingency coefficient of 0.525 including a moderate association. By using VBA for Excel, the ability of junior high school students to improve in the usual way significantly with a t-test with 0.006 <0.05.

The availability of VBA, math and image functions in Microsoft Excel help teachers to design the creation of media related to mathematics learning, especially to develop the ability of junior high school students who have difficulty to connect mathematics lessons with basic mathematics knowledge requirements.

The advantages of Microsoft Excel than other mathematical software are the many math functions and images available in the form of shapes or pictures. The utilization of math functions in Microsoft Excel can help work on Excel display more interactive so that teachers can create props inside Excel. Visual Basic Application for Excel is a simple program language and has the power to process data quickly. In conclusion, the mathematical reasoning ability of primary school students can be improved by applying the CPA approach. The results revealed that there wasthe influence between the CPA approach and students' mathematical reasoning abilities, and the achievement and enhancement of mathematical reasoning abilities of students who got learning with the CPA approach werebetter than students who got conventional learning based on all student review and a category of Prior Mathematical Ability (PMA) high, moderate and low. The test and non-test instruments were involved in this research. The research sample consisted of 121 fifth grade students in two primary schools in Bekasi Regency. This research method is a quasi-experiment with pre-test and post-test control group design in Mathematics subjects with the theme of data presentation. This research aims at looking at the effect of the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach on the enhancement of mathematical reasoning abilities of primary school students. This research is motivated by the importance of mathematical reasoning abilities for primary school students.
