- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the mathematical connection process of students with low math abilities in solving problems based on gender. Descriptive exploratory research with a qualitative approach was used in this study. A male student and a female student of class X MIPA with low math abilities were the research subjects. Data were collected through written tests and interviews with research subjects. Data credibility is obtained through method and time triangulation. Furthermore, the data were analyzed using an interactive model which included data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that male students made a connection process in mathematics, with other sciences and in everyday life at the stage of understanding problems and carrying out problem solving. This is different from female students who make mathematical connections internally and externally with everyday life. At the stage of making a settlement plan, male and female students made connections internally by choosing the strategy to be used. Meanwhile, at the stage of re-checking the answers of female students and male students, there was no connection.
