This is a field reseach performing diagnostic tests to analyze the difficulties of<br />learners in narrative form. Subject of the study were 21 students at SMAN 1<br />Rambatan, West Sumatera. They were given about the test designed to measure their<br />mathematical connection abilityby adjusting the questions to analyze their learning<br />difficulties. Interviews were conducted among students classified with learning<br />difficulties. The data were analyzed with data tabulation procedures, analyzing the<br />results of the test, reducing the data, presenting data and drawing conclusions. After<br />that, they were validated by using data triangulation. The results obtained, the<br />students turned out to have learning difficulties in mathematics are three kinds of<br />connection indicator. The difficulty is illustrated by the inability of students to<br />understand the concepts, symbols and spatial relations in trigonometry. The learners‟<br />inability to view visual objects such as identifying information about the overall and<br />not able to explain the information that learners get and learners are not able to<br />combine the visual and motor skills in solving a given problem.
