This study aims to determine the mathematical creative thinking abilities Level in the high mathematical creative thinking disposition category for each gender difference. This research is qualitative research using a qualitative descriptive method conducted at SMK Pertiwi Kuningan. This study describes mathematical creative thinking abilities of mathematics learning by collecting descriptive data obtained from the classification dispositions of mathematical creative thinking categories, creative thinking abilities test questions, and valid and reliable interviews. The research subjects chosen were four students from 57 students. The research subjects were two male students and two female students who had creative abilities, and the highest test scores were in the high mathematical creative thinking disposition category. Data analysis was performed with the stages of data collection, reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that male and female students in the high mathematical creative thinking disposition category have creative abilities that fulfill the aspects of flexibility, fluency, and elaboration. Flexibility and fluency aspects have an average score with very good criteria. Then, there are differences in the elaboration aspect, where the average score of female and male students are 3.9 and 3.4, respectively. It shows that the difference is not significant, namely 0.5, which indicates that female students are better at the elaboration aspect. Even so, male students also fulfill the elaboration aspect, wherein the very good criteria both. However, male and female students did not satisfy the originality aspect. The creative ability can be reached by having a high mathematical creative thinking disposition. Therefore, the teacher must be able to instill a high mathematical creative thinking disposition in mathematics learning. The high mathematical creative thinking disposition makes students flexible, fluent, and thorough in solving mathematical problems.

At the beginning of the semester, the study program must arrange a lecture schedule. Among the problems faced is when there are students who take courses at once in one semester. By identifying the course as a knot, the schedule arrangement can be overcome by dyeing the vertex of the graph, by applying the Welch-Powell algorithm. Graph coloring results are neighboring nodes given different colors. With this method can be determined lecture schedule so that no clashing occurs. And courses that can be done simultaneously, that is, the node with the same color.Keywords: Lecture Schedule, Graf Staining, Welch-Powell Algorithm
The purpose of this study is to analyze the mathematical problem-solving ability of SMK students with cognitive style Field Independent (FI) and Field Dependent (FD). The type of research is qualitative research with descriptive method. The research subjects are 23 students of class X SMK who had studied the Linear Programming material and four people were taken for analysis, namely two FI students and two FD students. Subjects are taken using a purposive sampling technique. This research instrument uses the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT), tests of mathematical problem-solving ability and interview guidelines. The results showed that the first FI subject who had a very good problem-solving ability category met all the indicators of problem-solving ability. The second FI subject who has a good problem-solving ability category meets three indicators of problem-solving ability. The first FD subject who has sufficient problem-solving ability category cannot fulfill all problem-solving indicators. The second FD subject who has a problem-solving ability category is sufficient to meet two indicators of problem-solving ability. It can be concluded that the problem solving ability of SMK students is quite good.
Abstact Textbooks have an important role in the learning process. In addition as a reference material, also have the potential to affect student learning. In this study, carried out a survey of mathematics education students. Students were asked to describe how they used textbooks. The survey was conducted by giving questionnaires and interviews about what components are used, when students look at each component, the reason for these components as well as the students see what difficulties encountered when used textbook. Data collected was processed using descriptive statistics as well as to determine there are differences in the use of good text books for each component or components in pairs using Cochran’s Q test and McNemar Test. The result show that students tend to use the sample chapter to build their understanding of math concept than the chapter text description. Difficulties experienced when students understand basic concepts such as definitions and theorems which causes difficulty in working on.
