Abstract: Mathematical communication skills help students in improving their understanding of mathematics lessons and help students in solving mathematical problems. Students with low mathematical communication have difficulty understanding and solving mathematical problems. This study aims to describe mathematical communication skills in the discussion process of grade V elementary school students. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative research. The data collection methods used were observation, tests and interviews. The data obtained were then analyzed through data reduction steps, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was found that students’ mathematical communication skills during the discussion process were still relatively low. Most students did not meet the indicators of mathematical communication during the discussion process. Students’ skills in reading, listening, interpreting, and evaluating mathematical ideas were not evident during the discussion. This was evidenced by the results of observations during the discussion process: several students were not actively involved in expressing their opinions during the discussion due to difficulties in understanding the problems and problem-solving strategies; students also had difficulty communicating the solutions reflected in their answers.
