Communication is one of the important things in the learning process because there will be social interactions that can make learning more lively. Through communication, students can understand and interpret understanding of mathematical problems, not only calculation problems but also mathematical problems in everyday life. This research aims to describe students' communication skills in solving mathematical literacy problems based on mathematical abilities. This research is qualitative descriptive research. The subjects in this research were 27 students of class VIII in one of SMP Swasta in Sidoarjo. Subjects were given a mathematics ability test to categorize the subject's mathematical abilities into high, medium, and low-levels. The research data were obtained from the results of mathematics literacy tests and interviews conducted by 3 selected subjects. The results showed that 1) students with high mathematical abilities have a medium category of communication skills because students can fulfill the indicators of expression, interpretation, use of notations/symbols, and evaluation with correct answers without complete reasons, 2) students with medium mathematical abilities have a medium category of communication skills because students can fulfill the expression and interpretation indicators with correct answers along with correct and clear reasons, fulfill the indicators of using notations/symbols with correct answers without complete reasons, but students do not fulfill the evaluation indicators, and 3) students with low mathematical abilities have a very low category of communication skills because students can fulfill the expression and interpretation indicators with wrong answers but there is a reason, fulfill the indicators of using notations/symbols with correct answers but no reason, but students do not fulfill the evaluation indicators.

In solving the problems they face, students must think so that they can apply the right concepts to the problems they face. This process can run effectively in learning if students have good reflective thinking skills. Mathematical reflective thinking is one of the thought processes needed in the process of solving mathematical problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in reflective thinking skills between students who received learning with problem-based learning and conventional learning. The research method used is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design. The population of this study was students of grade 7 MTs Islmaiyah Medan in the academic year 2019/2020. The sample in this study was students of class 7-A and 7-B MTs Islamiyah Medan. The data were collected by giving a reflective thinking ability test instrument. The data obtained were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA statistical test. Based on the research findings, it was found that there was an increase in students' reflective thinking skills taught by problem-based learning with students taught conventionally. Where the increase in reflective thinking skills between students whose learning process using problem-based learning is significantly higher than students whose learning is through conventional learning. Based on these results, it can be concluded that in an effort to foster students' mathematical abilities, the learning model used must match the characteristics of the learning model with mathematical abilities.

Mathematical reasoning is the ability to think about mathematical problems, namely by thinking logically about mathematical problems to get conclusions about problem solutions. There are several factors that can affect students' mathematical reasoning, including mathematical abilities. Dissimilarity of students' mathematical abilities allows for dissimilarity in their mathematical reasoning abilities. So, this research intends to describe students' mathematical reasoning abilities in solving social arithmetic problems based on dissimilarity in mathematical abilities. The purpose of this research was to describe qualitative data about the mathematical reasoning abilities of students with high, medium, or low abilities in solving social arithmetic problems. The instrument used was the Mathematical Ability Test to determine the three research subjects, followed by a Problem Solving Test to get qualitative data about students' mathematical reasoning abilities, then interviews to get deeper data that was not obtained through written tests. Thus, the research data were analyzed using mathematical reasoning indicators. From the result of data analysis, it was found that all students understood the problem well. Students with high and medium mathematical abilities are determining and implementing problem solving strategies properly, namely writing down the step for solving them correctly and making accurate conclusions by giving logical argumens at aech step of the solution. However, students with low mathematical abillities have difficulty in determining and implementing problem solving strategies because they do not understand the concept, thus writing the steps to solve the problems incorrectly and not giving accurate conclusions about the correctness of the solution.

Basically every student must master mathematics taught in school because mathematics is a branch of science from various sciences but in fact many students think that mathematics is a complicated lesson that makes them feel dizzy to learn it. In the end their hearts and minds were not open to understanding mathematics when it was explained by the teacher in school so that they had a lot of problems to solve the problem and resulted in incorrect filling in the questions given. The purpose of this study is none other than to analyze students' errors in mathematical communication skills in completing flat-build material. The subjects used were students from one of the high schools in Cihampelas. This research method is qualitative descriptive and the instrument used consists of a mathematical communication ability test. Based on the results of the research, the location of the causes of errors made by students is a concept, procedure and computational error. Factors that cause errors because they do not understand simple concepts, do not know the purpose of the problem, cannot complete mathematical sentences and are not careful in calculating.
