Abstract
The aimed of the study to analyze mathematical connection ability of the junior high schools students of grade VIII Bireuen, Aceh in solving the quadrilateral. This study used qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The research subjects were were 20 students of grade VIII (13-14 years). The instrument used is in the form of a description test. The results showed that overall mathematical connections were still low at 39%. While the percentage of each connection indicator between topics of mathematics is 35%, connections with other disciplines are 28%, connections with the real world are 53%.
