This study aims to describe deaf students understanding of the concept of circles based on their learning styles. The subjects in this study were 10 deaf students at SLB Negeri 2 Bantul. The research instruments of this mixed method were learning style test instrument, understanding test instrument, observation guidelines, and interview guides. Analysis of research data was carried out during and after data collection so that the data obtained were arranged systematically and were easier to interpret. In this study, quantitative data analysis was carried out through descriptive statistical analysis by presenting the results of tests of understanding and test results of student learning styles in the form of diagram. Qualitative data analysis was carried out inductively, starting with examining all data from interviews and observations, then data reduction, presentation, and verification until a conclusion was reached. Based on the results of data analysis, it is known that the learning styles of deaf students are visual, kinesthetic and a combination of both (visual-kinesthetic). From the results of the analysis it was also found that the learning styles possessed by students have a relationship and influence on the achievement of student understanding. There are four aspects of understanding the circle that students achieve with scores exceeding the minimum completeness criteria, namely aspects of interpreting, classifying, exemplifying, and comparing. Meanwhile, three other aspects of understanding, namely summarizing, explaining, and inferring are still under the minimum completeness criteria.
