Kemampuan Komunikasi Matematis Siswa SMP pada Topik Penyajian Data di Pondok Pesantren

Students do not dare to ask questions when they find difficult problems, therefore students' mathematical communication skills are very important to have. This study aims to obtain further information about students' mathematical communication skills. The research method used is qualitative research. The subjects of this research were 4 students of class VII at Pondok Pesantren At-Taufik Ciucing. Data collection techniques used are tests, interviews, and observation. Data analysis techniques used are data reduction, data presentation, and concluding. The results of this study indicate the final conditions of students' mathematical communication skills, namely: the first indicator is 81.25%, meaning that a small number of students cannot represent the problems they face; the second indicator of 62.75% means that most students have difficulty in explaining problem ideas orally or in writing; the third indicator of 93.75% means that almost all students can describe the problem on a picture/diagram; the fourth indicator of 62.5% means that most students have difficulty in this matter.
