Mathematical communication is communication used in the mathematical process to receive understand and convey mathematical ideas or concepts both verbally and in writing. This ability includes skills in expressing ideas interpreting information and using mathematical terms notations and symbols appropriately. In addition mathematical communication also plays an important role in helping students explain their understanding of mathematical concepts and procedures. However the reality in the field shows that many students still have difficulty communicating their mathematical ideas. Based on initial observations and findings from several previous studies it is known that students mathematical communication skills are still relatively low. This is reflected in the weak ability of students to explain the steps for solving problems formulate final conclusions and use mathematical symbols correctly. The mathematical communication skills of each student are certainly different. These differences are influenced by various factors one of which is individual characteristics such as learning style. Learning style is a person s tendency to obtain and process information according to their respective learning methods. In the context of learning mathematics learning style greatly influences how students absorb information and how they communicate that understanding. One of the widely used learning style models is the Honey-Mumford learning style which divides learning styles into four types activist reflector theoretical and pragmatic. This study aims to describe students mathematical communication skills in solving mathematics problems viewed from the Honey-Mumford learning style. The type of research used is descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The selection of research subjects is based on the results of the Learning Style Questionnaire (LSQ) questionnaire. Students selected as research subjects are students with a moderate learning style level in the Honey Mumford learning style category. The selection of subjects with a moderate learning style was carried out because students with this level allow researchers to analyze more deeply the challenges and strengths that exist in each learning style. The research subjects consisted of three students namely one student with a reflector learning style one student with a theoretical learning style and one student with a pragmatic learning style. The three subjects were given a mathematical communication ability test and then interviews were conducted based on the test results and think aloud recordings. The main instrument in this study was the researcher himself while the supporting instruments used included the LQS questionnaire mathematical communication ability test and interview guidelines. Data analysis techniques in this study include the process of data condensation data presentation and constructing conclusions. The results of the study showed that students with a reflective learning style tend to be able to understand and convey information verbally but are less than optimal in writing it down. Students with a theoretical learning style in solving mathematical problems showed that the subjects had a good understanding of each indicator of mathematical communication although there were still some shortcomings. Meanwhile students with a pragmatic learning style were able to meet each indicator of mathematical communication skills but their implementation was still not optimal.
