This study aims to describe the mathematical reasoning abilities of vocational high school students in the business and management expertise in solving mathematical tasks in the law of demand context. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method. The participants consisted of six students categorized into three groups: high, medium, and low mathematical abilities. Participants from one of the vocational schools in Ciamis, Indonesia. Mathematical tasks to explore students' mathematical reasoning abilities in the law of demand context. The law of demand is a concept in business economics subjects. The task situation expanded as an alternative to solving more mathematical tasks—data from the results of student answers and interviews. Data analysis refers to the characteristics of mathematical reasoning, which consists of imitative and creative reasoning. The stages of data analysis are reduction, presentation, interpretation, inference, and verification. The results of data analysis show that all students tend to do imitative reasoning on each given task. Students tend to remember the law of demand formulas and perform mathematical procedures that they remember. Students often perform mathematical procedures that are not by the nature of mathematics so that the resulting solution is wrong. The law of demand questions designed to explore creative reasoning abilities has not been able to bring students to the flow of creative mathematical reasoning.

The purpose of this study was to describe students’ mathematical reasoning abilities, such as: drawing conclusions from a statement, doing mathematical manipulation, providing valid arguments and presenting mathematical statements, both verbally and in writing, in the form of pictures or graphs. This research used the descriptive qualitative method. The instruments used in this study were the main instrument (researchers) and the supporting instruments (tests and interviews). The test was given to 25 students of class XII SMA Muhammadiyah Surakarta Special Program (Muhammadiyah Surakarta Senior High School Special Program). The subjects of this study were eight students of class XII who were selected by purposive sampling technique. The results showed that students had good mathematical reasoning skills while doing mathematical manipulations and presenting mathematical statements verbally, in writing, or in pictures. Students did not show good mathematical reasoning skills when students have to draw conclusions from a statement and provide valid arguments. This is because students still do not master how to identify and determine the right strategy to solve problems, and the answers given by students were still not correct. In the future, teachers are expected to provide problems (questions) in various mathematical reasoning, so students are accustomed to working on problems with various levels of mathematical reasoning, and students’ mathematical skills can be better trained.
