This research uses descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The instruments used were Mathematics Ability Test, written Mathematical Communication Test and Interview Guidelines. Data were analyzed descriptively in the form of qualitative data obtained from the results of the Written Test to describe students' written mathematical communication. The results showed that female students were more dominant than male students in the cognitive domain and completed written math problems in full.
