Problem-solved skills are considered important because these abilities are basic abilities in learning mathematics. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is an approach that can improve students' problem-solved skills, because the RME uses contextual problems. This study aims to look at the effectiveness of RME-based learning trajectory to improve mathematical problem-solving skills in grade VIII SMP specifically on circle topics. This study refers to the Plomp research model. This research instrument used observation sheets, student worksheets, and problem-solved skills test questions. To see the effectiveness of the learning flow is done by giving questions at each meeting and carrying out tests after the field test. This research involves five meetings with sub topics that have been designed. Based on the research that has been done, it is found that RME-based learning trajectory is effective to improve students' mathematical problem-solving skills. © 2023 Author(s).
