Observation and test were used in collecting the data. Based on descriptive analysis, it was found that: (a) the average of applying jigsaw type was 3.56 (very good category) and (b) the average of students’ mathematical communication ability on the topic statistics before using jigsaw type was 58.81 (fair category) and after using jigsaw type was81.13 (very good category). Furthermore, based on inferential statistics by using pair sample ttest, and help SPSS version 16, the result showed the significant value was less than 0.05 (0.000<0.05).
