【 摘 要 】

This research describes students' problems in communicating geometry mathematic problems solving. The research is descriptive qualitative. The subject is 30 eighth graders of SMP 2 Kudus. Those students are grouped into three categories: (1) students experiencing problems in communicating mathematic solution in the form of mathematical expression, (2) drawing, and (3) written text. The steps to categorize the subjects are: (1) giving mathematic communication task, (2) doing assignment based interview to confirm the answers of the students, and (3) grouping the subjects into three categories experiencing mathematic solving problems. The instruments to collect the data are problem solving tasks and interviews. The findings show students with the problems take form into mathematical expression, drawing, and written text.
