This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the experiential learning model and to determine which one is more effective between the experiential learning model and the conventional one in mathematics learning in subject matter of flat side construct viewed from the learning achieve-ment and students' appreciationof mathematics. This study was a quasi-experimental study using the pretest-posttest nonequivalent comparison-group design. The research population comprised all Year VIII students, consisting of 4 classes of MTs Negeri Sidoharjo. From the population, two classes, Class VIIIA and Class VIIIB, were selected randomly as the research sample. To test the effectiveness of the mathematics learning through the experiential learning model and conventional learning, the proportion test was carried out. Then to compare the effectiveness of the two models, the data were analyzed using T2 Hotelling's test, and the t-test to find out which of the two models was more effective. The results of the study show that the experiential learning model is more effective than the conventional in mathematics learning in subject matter of flat side construct viewed from the learning achievement and students' appreciationof mathematics
