摘要：[English]: Mathematics connection support students finding various possible strategies in problem-solving. Cultural products can be used as mathematical objects in learning. This article, part of a study that designed culture-based learning, aims to identify students' mathematics connection. Data was collected through a test given to 341 students and unstructured interviews of nine students selected based on the completion of the test, which fulfills mathematization steps. Data analysis began by classifying students’ answers based on mathematization, identifying mathematics connection of students according to mathematization, analyzing students’ mathematics connection, and drawing conclusions about mathematics connection and the constraints found. The results showed that students' mathematics connections include three categories, namely understanding connection, representation connection, and justification connection. Students with justification connection solved mathematical problems according to mathematization steps, from the identification of mathematical objects to formal mathematics.Meanwhile, students with understanding and representation connection solved their respective mathematical problems up to the concrete and formal stages. The findings reveal that culture-based mathematics learning provides space to understand students' mathematics connection. Further research is required to prove that it can be used to develop students' mathematics connection.
