Abstract: The Influence of Cooperative Learning Think Pair Share Type On Improving Mathemtics Communication Skills of Students . This research aimed to know the influence of the application of Think Pair Share learning model on improving student’s mathematical communication skills. The population of this research was all the eighth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Sukoharjo in the odd semester of the 2019/2020 academic year, distributed into nine classes. The sample of this study was students of class VIII-A as the experimental class and class VIII-B as the control class selected through purposive sampling technique. This research design used the pretest-posstest control group design with essay test. Based on the result of research and discussion, it was concluded that the increase in mathematical communication skills of students who participated in think pair share learning was higher than the increase in mathematical communication skills of students who participated in conventional learning. Thus, Think Pair Share learning model affect the improvement of student’s mathematical communication skills
