The objective of this research was to find out the improvement of students’ mathematical communication ability through learning model of reciprocal teaching at class VII-B Of SMP Negeri 2 Bonegunu. This research was a classroom action research. The population in this research was all grade VII students of SMP Negeri 2 Bonegunu as many as 63 students and the sample was class VII-B students of SMP Negeri 2 Bonegunu whose number was 31 students. The instruments of this research were an observation sheet and a test of students’ mathematical communication ability. Based on the research outcome. It obtained the score of teacher’s activity was 88.24% and students’ activity was 70,58% which was implemented. At cycle II, the teacher’s acthivity which was implemented was 97,06% and students’ activity was 91,18%. The result of students’ mathematical communication ability indicated that there was not any student who got a score of ≥65. The test result at cycle I Indicated that students’ mathematical communication ability was 70,97% (22 students) got a score of ≥ 65 with the mean score was 70,84. The result of posttest at cycle II indicated that students whose score ≥ 65 were 26 students (88,87%) with the mean score were 77,87. Of those result, it was obtained the conclusion that students’ mathematical communication ability at class VII-B of SMP Negeri 2 Bonegunu could be improved by apllying the reciprocal teaching model.
