This research aimed to analyze students’ mathematical connection ability in the material of rectangles and triangles. The method put on research is descriptive qualitative method. The research subjects were selected using a purposive sampling technique according to the classification of high, medium, and low initial abilities consisting of 2 students in each category. The selected subjects composed of 2 students based on the measurement scale of high ability category and the selected students had received material on rectangles and triangles. The research consisted of a test question instrument of mathematical connection. The results represented that mathematical connection ability with the material of rectangles and triangles is in a medium ability, that students can recognizing and using mathematical concepts outside the context of Mathematics in solving real-life problems. Some students can use the connection among mathematical concepts with other mathematical concepts but student did not provide the correct solution to the problem and some students cannot identify problems and use mathematical concepts.
