Gender differences occur in various fields, including education. Male and females should be treated equally in education, but there are many differences between males and females in various ways. This study aims to analyze differences in junior high school students’ mathematical connections by sex. The method used in this study is the subject of qualitative and quantitative research. The research test instrument consisted of 3 questions which included indicators of mathematical connections, namely connections between mathematical topics, connections between mathematics and other fields, and mathematical connections with everyday life. The results of this study showed that of 57 students, 23 male students had an average of 47.41 higher than female students who had an average of 43.15, indicating that men and women had differences in mathematical connection abilities. A common cause is female students who have understood mathematical concepts but have not been able to relate to other things.
