The research objective is to explore the mathematical connection capabilities of hearing-impaired students in grade 8 in completing tests related to connection with other disciplines. The type of research used is qualitative research with a case study design. The number of subjects in the study was six people who were taken purposively based on the characteristics of language and speech, intelligence, and social-emotional spread in 3 schools namely; SLB B KaryaMurni of Ruteng - East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), State SMPLB Semarang and SLB B Don BoscoWonosobo. The results of the analysis of work and interviews found that mathematical connection abilities that arise in hearing impaired students in completing tests related to connection with other disciplines include; (1) in building an understanding of the problem, hearing impaired students tend to represent problems by making pictures. (2) in making a preliminary plan to complete, the students are inclined to use the media related to the problem given. (3) if hearing impaired students can find patterns by seeing regularity, then in determining these patterns they tend to use the results of exploration by making pictures. Thus concluded that hearing impaired students can solve non-routine questions with a high level of difficulty by using the patterns found by first exploring through images.
