Abstract


Abstract: This research aims to describe students' mathematical communication in solving mathematical problems using contextual problems with curved-sided geometric material. This is motivated by the lack of habituation of junior high school students in solving various mathematical problems, especially contextual problems. It is important to provide contextual problems to improve problem-solving abilities in the learning process. If through solving mathematical problems, it is hoped that students will be able to implement their skills and knowledge in solving daily life problems. The research method uses qualitative methods based on the results of answers to contextual test questions which are analyzed by adjusting mathematical communication indicators. The research subjects were 3 students while the research instrument used was contextual test questions. The research results show that students in the low category are still unable to communicate mathematically in students who are categorized as being less able to communicate mathematically. Students in the high category are good at communicating mathematically. Recommendations for further research are to develop contextual problem-based learning designs that focus on improving students' mathematical communication.
