Communication skills in mathematics learning are very necessary to achieve good learning outcomes. This study aims to determine students mathematical communication skills in completing building space material. This type of research is qualitative descriptive with the number of subjects used, namely 1 person. The chosen subject is the student who obtained the highest score. The instruments used are tests and interviews. Tests are used to select subjects and interviews are conducted to determine students reasoning abilities. The data analysis technique used is using qualitative data analysis, namely using the stages of data collection, data presentation and conclusions. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that AW subjects meet 7 indicators of mathematical communication skills, namely subjects are able to connect real objects, images, and diagrams into mathematical ideas, subjects can explain ideas, situations, and mathematical relations orally and in writing with real objects, images, graphs, and algebra, subjects can express everyday events in language or mathematical symbols, subjects can listen, discuss, and write about mathematics, subjects can read with comprehension a written mathematical presentation, subjects can make conjectures, construct arguments, formulate definitions, and generalizations, and subjects can explain and make questions about mathematics that have been studied, while subject AB only meets 3 indicators out of 7 indicators used.

Conclusion

Based on the results of research conducted on grade VIII students of SMP Negeri Satap Namami, it can be concluded that AW subjects meet 7 indicators of mathematical communication skills.Subject AB only meets 3 indicators out of 7 indicators used.This study did not conduct a review based on the initial abilities and learning styles of students, so more in-depth research is needed on these aspects to find out the mathematical communication skills possessed by students.

Future Research

Further research should investigate the influence of students initial abilities and learning styles on their mathematical communication skills, providing a more nuanced understanding of the factors contributing to these skills. Additionally, studies could explore the effectiveness of incorporating real-world applications and problem-solving activities that specifically target the development of mathematical communication skills in building space concepts. Finally, research could focus on designing and evaluating interventions aimed at improving students ability to construct arguments, formulate definitions, and generalize mathematical concepts, ultimately enhancing their overall mathematical proficiency and communication competence. These investigations will contribute to more effective teaching strategies and a deeper understanding of how to foster robust mathematical communication skills in students.
