Mathematics is a unity of knowledge whose parts are interconnected. The fact is exactly what inspired the mathematical connection. With mathematical connection, students will better understand the meaning behind what he is learning and being able to look at the topics of mathematics as a whole. However, based on the results of research that has been done often mention that most students can make a list of mathematical concepts that have relevance to real-world problems, but not many students were able to explain why the concept is used. In this article, the author argues that the mathematical connection capabilities should be practiced in school and the CORE learning model can become one of the alternatives that can be used. Systematically, This article will review the literature regarding how the CORE learning model can help students in improving the ability of mathematical connections. Connecting, organizing, reflecting and extending the stages in the application of learning models CORE. The stage circuit a positive impact on the development of the students in understanding mathematics. Each stage through which can help train students in the mathematical connection capabilities. Thus, this article suggests the CORE learning model that can be used to help improve students' mathematical connections. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
