The results of the class VII-A student questionnaire showed that 57% of students were interested and active in learning mathematics, it affected the students' low level of connection ability with a score of 51. As many as 72% of students needed interactive learning media in the form of the Aperska android application. The purpose of this study was to develop Aperska learning media based on the mathematical connection ability of seventh grade junior high school students. This research uses Research and Development (R&D). The steps of this research using the ADDIE model include: (1) Analysis; (2) Design; (3) Development; (4) Implementation; (5) Evaluation. Data collection techniques include interviews and questionnaires. Instruments include guidelines, interview sheets and questionnaires. Data analysis includes analysis of the media development process. Based on the analysis of the needs of interactive teaching materials that can be used in learning so that students do not get bored easily. The research location is in SMP 5 Kudus class VII. The results of the validity test by media experts and material experts showed that the aperska learning media was valid with an average score of 3.0. The teacher's practicality test results obtained an average of 3.6 and students' practical value of 3.2. This shows that the Aperska learning media is valid and practical Keyword: Comparison, Aperska Learning Media,Mathematical Connecting ability]]>
