Meanwhile, the differences of students’ multiple intelligences, like intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences, it made possible that there would be some differences between their writing and oral communication abilities in solving mathematics problems. The goal of this research are describing students’ mathematical communication abilities with their intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences level on writing and oral in solving mathematics problems. This research was descriptive research with qualitative approach. The instruments that used are questionnaire, mathematics test, and interview. The subjects of this research consist of four students, which are a student with high intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences, a student with high intrapersonal and low interpersonal intelligences, a student with low intrapersonal and high interpersonal intelligences, and a student with low intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences. Based on the description and analysis results about students’ mathematical communication ability on writing and oral in solving mathematics problems viewed from the level of intrapersonal and interpersonal intelligences, then it can be concluded that the students with high intrapersonal intelligences in general have the written communication abilities better than the low one. While the students with high interpersonal intelligences in general have the oral communication abilities better than the low one.
