The purpose of this study was to analyze and explore the effectiveness of constructivism approaches in improving mathematical communication skills of junior high school students in the city of Paser. The experimental quasi method was used in this study to test the hypothesis of the study. The sample of the study at three junior high schools in Paser City, representing high, medium and low school students.. The instruments used in this study were pre-post test, pre-post questionnaires, and observation. The data were analyzed using independent sample t-tests, paired sample tests, annova tests, and descriptive analysis. The findings of pre-post test and pre-post questionnaire analysis using t-test showed that there were significant differences in group mathematical communication skills using constructivism approach compared to groups using conventional approaches at all achievement levels of high school students (high, simple and low). Based on the observation, it is found that high achievement school students have good mathematical communication skills in mathematical communication, these are identified in many aspects and observation indicators achieved by students during learning.

This research is motivated by the low mathematical communication skills of junior high school students in the city of Bandung Regency. This study aims to determine the comparison of the mathematical communication skills of junior high school students in the city of Bandung regency between the learning usingmodels Think Talk Write. The method used in this study is a quasi-experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design involving two groups and randomly selected classes, at the beginning and end of the study the two classes were given a test. The population in this study were junior high school students in the city of Bandung Regency, while the sample consisted of two randomly selected classes. Obtained class VII A (experimental class) given themodel Think Talk Write and class VII B (control class) is given a scientific approach. The instrument used was a 5-item mathematical communication ability description test, then theability scores mathematical communication students'were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics using the help of SPSS 21 software. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that there were differences in the achievement of students' mathematical communication skills using models Think Talk Write with students who used a scientific approach.

This research is to find out the mathematical communication skills of VIII junior high school students about building a flat side space. This research method is a qualitative descriptive study. The subject of this research is 18 students in one junior high school in Bandung regency. The test instrument used is a description form. The indicator used in this study there are 5 indicators of mathematical communication ability, namely expressing ideas, situations and relations with images, expressing mathematical situations or everyday events into mathematical models, explaining and making questions of mathematical problems, low indicators only obtain an average percentage averaged 12%, based on the results of calculations using the Microsoft Exel application the overall student communication skills of these five indicators are still low below 50% which is only 44%.

This study aims to analyze in depth the influence of mathematical disposition on mathematical communication ability of junior high school students. The method in this research using a correlational method with quantitative approach. The population of this study is all junior high school students in one of the SMP Negeri in West Bandung amounted to 34 students. Instruments in this study using the test of mathematical communication skills as much as 5 items and the scale of mathematical disposition as much as 23 points of statement scale. The result of this research is student's mathematical disposition influenced by 76,5% then its rest influenced by other factors outside mathematical disposition equal to 23,5%.

This research was motivated by the difficulties of teachers in implementing the 2013 curriculum, especially in the preparation of learning tools. This research was aimed to develop a valid, practical and effective learning tool for VIII grade junior high school students. This type of research was Research and Development with a 4-D model. Data collection instruments in this study were validation sheets, practicality sheets and tests of mathematical communication skills. Data were analyzed using validation criteria, practicality and effectiveness tests. The results obtained from the device validation show that the RPP is valid and the LKPD is quite valid. The practicality test results of small groups and large groups obtained very practical criteria. The effectiveness test can be seen from the percentage of student KKM achievement that is equal to 92% meets the effective criteria and the average difference test (t test) is obtained that tcount> ttable, which is 16.976> 1.677 and the significance value is <0.05. These results indicate that the developed learning tools are effective in improving students mathematical communication skills.
