This is evident that the mastery learning of pre-action or pre-cycle students is still low, namely 2 students (25%) with an average student's numeracy ability of 60%. The results of students' numeracy skills in the first cycle after applying the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) learning model and the use of Visual Media showed significant success with an average of 68.75% and student learning completeness reached 5 people (62.50%). Because in cycle I still had not reached the desired average value, cycle II was carried out.
