The ability of mathematical understanding and motivation to learn is very necessary for students to take part in mathematics learning. This study aims to determine the increase in mathematical understanding and learning motivation of students who obtain mathematics learning through contextual approach using autograph software with students who obtain conventional mathematics learning, and analyze the interactions based on the level of students' initial mathematical abilities. This research is an experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this study was all Year 10 students at SMK Negeri 1 Meulaboh, Aceh, Indonesia, the sample was 60 students with randomly selected from 165. Data analysis was performed by two-way ANOVA. The results showed that there was an increase in the ability of mathematical understanding and learning motivation of students through contextual approach using autograph software better than conventional learning; there is no interaction between learning approaches and students' initial mathematical abilities towards mathematical understanding ability, and there is an interaction between learning approaches and students' initial mathematical abilities towards student learning motivation. The teacher is expected to be able to expand the application of learning with a software-assisted contextual approach to improve students' mathematical understanding and motivation.
