%X This study was a  quasi-experimental  study  aimed  to  examine  students’   metaphorical 
thinking  ability  in  senior  high  school     through  scientific  approach  in  the  2013 
Curriculum.  The ability  of  metaphorical thinking is  the ability  to think  that bridges 
mathematical  ideas  of  students  with  the  existing  phenomena,  modeling  with
students’  interpretation.  These  capabilities  provide  opportunities  for  students  to
explore  knowledge  in learning  mathematics.  Metaphorical  thinking ability measured
includes  the  capability  of  connecting,  inventing,  discovering  and  applying.  The 
result  showed  that  there  was  a  significant  increase  in  the  aspect  of  invention  and
discovery ,  but  it  did not  show  a significant increase in  connection  and  application
aspects.
