This study aims to produce E-Modul using the RME approach to improve the problem solving abilities and interest in learning of Junior High School Students Class VIII that meet the criteria of valid, practical, and effective. This research is ADDIE model which goes through five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The subjects of this research consisted of 30 class VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Depok, Sleman, D.I. Yogyakarta. The results show: (1) The RME E-Module has the characteristics of using contextual problems, developing mathematical models from real problems, students constructing their own, there are interactive activities, and connecting between topics or subjects. (2) Products and instruments meet valid criteria; (3) The practicality results of the E-Module reached a score of 90% by teacher assessment and 81.013% by student assessment, and learning implementation reached 94.44% thus meeting practical criteria; (4) The t-value in the hipothesis test is less than 0.05 so that E-Module meets the effective category.
