Abstract

This research illustrates that mathematical communication skills are considered the most needed abilities currently supported by other mathematical abilities, one of which is mathematical spatial abilities. This research aims to characterize the communication and mathematical visualization abilities of students at Nurul Islam Middle School, Sungai Kakap, Kubu Raya. Mixed methods, combining quantitative and qualitative techniques, were used in this research. Data was collected through interviews with 23 class VIII A students and analysis of their tests. The results show that the majority of students have moderate to low mathematical and spatial communication skills. Students' effective ability to convey understanding of mathematical concepts and mathematical spatial competence in flat shapes is among the lowest. This research reveals a relationship between strong mathematical communication skills and high spatial abilities, and vice versa.
