Abstract

This paper reports the result of study, which examines the association of problem solving and mathematical communication abilities of students after going through a Mathematical Eliciting Activities (MEAs) strategy. This quasi-static research involves 60 students of Junior High School in Depok, West Java, Indonesia. The data was collected through instruments that include the tests of the prior knowledge of mathematics, the problem solving and the mathematical communication. The data was analyzed by Pearson- Chi Square’s Test. The results inform that there is a significant association between mathematical problem solving and communication ability of students after going through MEAs strategy. The strength of the association between mathematical problem solving and communication, it can be seen from the students who tend to be followed also by their problem solving abilities. Applies also to the contrary that problem solving abilities of students also tend to be followed by their mathematical communication abilities as well.
