Students' Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability on Social Arithmetic Material

Abstract

This study aims to describe the ability of elementary school students in solving mathematical problems on social arithmetic material. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach about how students' mathematical problem solving abilities correlate with how students reduce and present data. In this study, the research subjects were six grade VI students, which were grouped into students with high, medium and low ability categories. The instruments used in collecting data are questions and interviews. The data collected were analyzed using four stages of mathematical problem solving skills, namely understanding the problem, formulating a problem plan, solving problems, and reviewing. The results showed that 16.67% of students had high mathematical problem solving abilities, 50% of students had moderate or intermediate abilities in solving mathematical problems and 33.33% had low mathematical problem solving abilities. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that grade VI elementary school students in Karawang Regency have moderate mathematical problem solving abilities in solving social arithmetic problems.

Media Permainan Ular Tangga Berbasis Misi Untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Pemecahan Masalah Matematika Siswa SD

“…Matematika sebagai disiplin ilmu menawarkan konsep-konsep abstrak yang disusun secara logis. Fokus utama dalam pembelajaran matematika adalah pada pemahaman konsep dan penerapan prinsip-prinsip logika (Nugraha, 2022;Wawat, 2022). Salah satu aspek penting dalam pembelajaran matematika adalah pengembangan kemampuan pemecahan masalah (Hanifa & Budiman, 2023;Megawati et al, 2022).…”

Penerapan Metode Pembelajaran Berbasis Masalah untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Pemecahan Masalah Siswa Sekolah Dasar

“…Selain itu, temuan ini juga memberikan kontribusi pada literatur tentang pembelajaran berbasis masalah, khususnya dalam konteks pendidikan dasar. Dengan memperluas pemahaman kita tentang efektivitas metode ini dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi implementasinya, kita dapat mengembangkan praktik pembelajaran yang lebih inovatif dan adaptif untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pembelajaran siswa di masa depan (Nugraha, 2022). Dalam konteks penelitian ini, perlu diperhatikan bahwa meskipun terdapat peningkatan dalam keterampilan pemecahan masalah siswa dan keterlibatan mereka dalam proses pembelajaran, masih terdapat beberapa aspek yang perlu diperhatikan lebih lanjut.…”

Project-Based Learning through the STEM Approach in Elementary Schools: How to Improve Problem-Solving Ability

“…The term "problem-solving" is defined as a cognitive process involving the analysis and transformation of information guided by specific objectives, particularly when solutions are not readily apparent to those grappling with the problem (Lovett, 2002;Mayer & Wittrock, 2006;Wang & Chiew, 2010). This competency lies at the heart of Science Education, aiming to cultivate critical, logical, and problem-solving skills (Nugraha, 2022;Prastiwi, 2018).…”
