The findings showed that mathematics communication skill description viewed from self-confidence of the students was varied. It was shown from 11 students with high self-confidence obtained mathematics communication skill into  8  high  and  3  moderate  category  students.  From  14  students  with  moderate  self- confidence, there were 4 students with high category, 8 students with moderate category, and 2 students with low category. From seven students with low self-confidence, there were 2 students with moderate and 5 students with low categories.
