<![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to describe the mathematical connection processes of Junior High School students in solving open-ended problems. The type of this research is descriptive qualitative. The data of this research were obtained through tests and interviews. The mathematical connections processes can be seen when students solve open ended mathematics story problems. The connection processes are based on three types of connections, namely concepts connections, procedures connection, and modelling connections. The research concluded that students can use all known information and connect the information so that they get the solution. The process of students’ mathematical connection is happened when the students were able to change the mathematical story problem into mathematical model and to connect mathematical concepts and procedures. However, in general, students only solve one solution even the problem was open ended. The reason is that the students rarely have experience in solving open ended mathematics problem.]]>
