Abstract

The purpose of the study was to explore the ability of deaf students in grade VIII to complete math connection test of inter-topics in mathematics. The type of research used is qualitative research with a case study and grounded theory design. Data were collected by various methods from six subjects who were taken purposively based on the characteristics of language and speech, intelligence and social-emotional. They were spread in three schools namely; SMPLB Karya Murni Ruteng - East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), SMPLB Negeri Semarang and SMPLB Don Bosco Wonosobo. The results of the analysis showed (1) in building an understanding of the problem, deaf students tend to represent the problem in the form of images and concrete objects. (2) in making initial plans to complete, students are inclined to use media related to the problem given. (3) Deaf students tend to be able to make predictions to obtain a mathematical model of a given problem, but the students are likely to be unable to provide a reason to validate the assumption. (4) if the deaf students can solve the problem, they tend to use a way of counting to solve it.
