Profil Pemecahan Masalah Matematika Siswa Kelas VII SMP Negeri 1 Wewewa Barat pada Materi Himpunan Ditinjau Gaya Belajar

This study aims (1) to understand the mathematical problem solving profile of class VII students studying set material in terms of visual learning style, (2) to understand the mathematical problem solving profile of class VII students studying set material in terms of audiotorial learning style, (3) to understand Mathematics problem solving profile of class VII students studying set material in terms of kinesthetic learning style. This research belongs to the type of qualitative descriptive research. The population of this study were all students of class VIIA. The research sample consisted of 9 students from class VIIA who were taken according to the scores obtained which were categorized as high, medium and low scores for each learning style. Data collection techniques using test questions (Question test), questionnaires, interviews, observations (observation). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the profile of math problem solving for class VIIA students in terms of visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles, some have gone through 4 stages of problem solving according to polya, some have not completed all stages of completion according to polya and some have completed a short way to solve problems

ANALISIS KESULITAN SISWA DALAM MENYELESAIKAN SOAL MATEMATIKA MATERI LUAS PERMUKAAN DAN VOLUME BANGUN RUANG SISI DATAR

Most students consider mathematics as a difficult and confusing subject of the many subjects, solid geometry is one of the mathematical subjects considered by students to be the most difficult to understand. Therefore a study was conducted on the difficulties of students in completing the material in solid geometry. The purpose of this study is to describe the difficulty of students in solving mathematical problems in the material surface area and volume of the solid geometry with flat side, especially rectangular solid. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. Based on research that has been done, it is known that students have difficulty understanding concepts and definitions, difficulty applying formulas, and difficulty in calculations
