Abstract: Mathematical communication skills remain low, particularly in expressing ideas, using representations, and constructing logical arguments. Previous studies on Canva-based Student Worksheets (LKPD) mainly emphasized visual attractiveness and learning motivation, while the integration of mathematical communication indicators remains limited. This study aimed to develop a Canva-based LKPD integrated with a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) approach and examine its validity, practicality, and effectiveness in supporting students’ mathematical communication skills. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using a modified 4D model consisting of Define, Design, and Develop stages. The participants were 30 eleventh-grade students from a public senior high school in Indonesia. Data were collected through validation sheets, mathematical communication tests, observation sheets, and questionnaires. The results showed that the LKPD was very valid, very practical, and moderately effective with an N-gain score of 0.48. These findings indicate that Canva-based visual-static LKPD can support mathematical communication in mathematics learning. Abstrak Kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa masih tergolong rendah, terutama dalam mengemukakan ide matematis, menggunakan representasi, dan menyusun argumen logis. Penelitian sebelumnya mengenai Lembar Kerja Peserta Didik (LKPD) berbasis Canva umumnya lebih berfokus pada aspek kemenarikan visual dan motivasi belajar, sedangkan integrasi indikator komunikasi matematis dalam aktivitas LKPD masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan LKPD berbasis Canva yang terintegrasi dengan pendekatan Problem-Based Learning (PBL) serta menguji validitas, kepraktisan, dan efektivitasnya dalam mendukung kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model 4D yang dimodifikasi menjadi tiga tahap, yaitu Define, Design, dan Develop. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas 30 siswa kelas XI SMA Negeri 9 Kendari. Data penelitian dikumpulkan melalui lembar validasi, tes kemampuan komunikasi matematis, lembar observasi, dan angket respons siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa LKPD yang dikembangkan tergolong sangat valid, sangat praktis, dan cukup efektif dengan nilai N-gain sebesar 0,48. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa LKPD visual-statis berbasis Canva berpotensi mendukung kemampuan komunikasi matematis siswa dalam pembelajaran matematika.
