This research is a descriptive qualitative study that aims to describe the profile of students mathematical connections with high, medium and low mathematical abilities to solving mathematical problems. This research was conducted at Junior High School 5 Gresik class VIII C with 3 students as research subjects. Based on the results of data analysis it can be concluded that: (1) The profile of mathematical connection of student with high mathematical ability is that student can recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas, understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another and can to recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics which covers other subject areas and disciplines as well as to students’ daily lives. (2) The profile of the mathematical connection of student with medium mathematical ability is that student can recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas, simply understand how ideas in mathematics are interconnected and build on one another, can not connect mathematics with other subject areas and can connect mathematics to daily lives. (3) The profile of the mathematical connection of students with low mathematical ability is that student can recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas, can not understand how ideas in mathematics are related, can not connect mathematics with other subject areas and can connect mathematics to daily lives.
