Application of the Reciprocal Teaching Approach to Examine Mathematical Communication Skills in Statistical Material in Terms of Student Mathematical Abilities

Abstract

This study explains skills in conveying mathematical concepts in writing through a Reciprocal Teaching learning approach on the topic of statistics. This study applies a qualitative descriptive approach with subjects consisting of grade VIII A students at SMP Negeri 04 Kota Tegal. The collected data is analyzed through the process of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The findings showed that students with high communication skills were able to meet well the 4 indicators of mathematical communication, while students with moderate communication skills managed to meet the 3 indicators of mathematical communication well, and students with low communication skills managed to meet the 2 indicators of mathematical communication quite well.
