Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of a problem-based learning model on student’s mathematical communication skills. The population was all students of grade VIII SMP Negeri 19 Bandarlampung odd semester in the academic year 2019/2020 that were distributed into ten classes. The research samples were all students of grade VIII E and VIII F which were selected through a purposive sampling technique.
