Abstract

This study aims to describe: (1) students' mathematical communication skills in the application of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), (2) students' mathematical problem solving abilities in the application of RME, (3) students' difficulties in mathematical communication and mathematical problem solving in solving mathematical problems. with the RME approach. This research is a qualitative research with a descriptive approach. Based on the research data, it was obtained that: (1) The level of students' mathematical communication skills in the trigonometric comparison material in a right triangle, students who had the ability of the medium category had the highest proportion, while for the ability of the low and high categories had the same proportion, ( 2) The level of students' mathematical problem solving ability in trigonometric comparison material in right triangles, students who have the ability in the low category have the highest proportion followed by the proportion in the medium category, and the ability in the high category has the lowest proportion, (3) Difficulty in mathematical communication and solving students' mathematical problems in the material of trigonometric comparisons on right triangles in the application of Realistic Mathematics Education are the difficulties of facts, concepts, operations, and principles.
