This research is motivated by the low mathematical-communication-ability of junior high school students. This study aims to determine whether the use of the ethnomathematical ARIAS-model is effective in mathematical-communication-ability. The study design was a pretest-posttest-control-group-design. The population in this study were eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Karangampel Indramayu. The research sample consisted of 57 students (27 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class). Data collection techniques using pretest and posttest; pretest to know students ‘initial mathematical-communication-ability before and posttest to find out students’ last mathematical-communication-ability after teaching and learning. Early mathematical-communication-ability was also used to determine the normality and homogeneity of the experimental and control class. Data were analyzed using parametric analysis of mean test, proportion test, average difference test, proportion difference test, and gain difference test. The results of this study indicate that the ARIAS-model with ethnomathematics nuances is better than problem-based learning in mathematical-communication-ability.
