This study aims to determine the differences of mathematical thinking skills between students who use wingeom software media and manipulative media in the fifth grade elementary school mathematics learning in the XIV group of Bengkulu City. This research is quantitative research. The research method used was a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest comparation group design. The population in this study were all fifth grade elementary school students in group XIV of Bengkulu City. The sample is a fifth grade student of SDN gugus XIV Bengkulu City, which is a state school. The sampling technique uses purposive random sampling.
