Summary:Abstract This study aims to describe the mathematical connection profile of high school students with converger learning styles in solving mathematics problems. This research is an exploratory descriptive study. The research subjects were first-grade students of SMA N Mojogedang with converger learning style. Data collection methods used questionnaires, tests, and interviews. Sampling was conducted by purposive sampling and snowball sampling. The analysis technique was performed through the triangulation of time and technique. The results show that the low mathematical connection ability was due to a lack of in-depth understanding of mathematical concepts. Students did not practice the concepts in trigonometry and other mathematics material so when they were given problems they could only understand the problems without being able to find solutions appropriately. The student profile with a converger learning style could generally understand non-routine and routine questions but students were unable to understand concepts on the mathematical topic itself and concepts in other mathematical topics.
