The purpose of this study was to analyze the errors made by primary school pupils in solving mathematical word problems in fraction using Newman’s Error Analysis procedure. The study used a qualitative research design and collected data using a diagnostic test and interview. The population of the study was primary six pupils in both public and private schools in Minna metropolis of Niger State, Nigeria. The samples were 105 primary six (6) pupils, 61 males and 44 females. The instruments used in the study are (a) a set of paper and pencil test consisting of 12 theory questions on fractions and (b) structured interview based on Newman’s theorem. The diagnostic test was administered to the pupils. Structured interview adopted from Rohmah and Sutiarso was also used to identify at which level students’ errors occur. The type of error was based on Newman Error Hierarchy Model that includes reading, comprehension, transformation, process skill, and encoding error. The data were analysed using inferential statistics of Chi-square (

Soal cerita matematika seringkali dianggap sulit oleh para siswa, sehingga seringkali terdapat banyak kesalahan yang dibuat oleh siswa dalam menjawab soal cerita matematika. Tujuan dari penetian ini adalah menganalisis jenis kesalahan yang dibuat oleh siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita matematika berdasarkan langkah penyelesaian Polya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri Se-Kecamatan Banjarmasin Tengah merupakan Populasi dari penelitian ini. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan menggunakan teknik simple random sampling sehingga diambil sampel dari lima sekolah dengan jumlah 422 siswa. Teknik pengumpulan data memakai tes soal uraian serta dianalisis berdasarkan langkah penyelesaian Polya. Data dianalisis menggu­nakan statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat empat jenis kesalahan yang dilakukan siswa kelas VII SMP Negeri di Kecamatan Banjarmasin Tengah dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita materi Aritmatika Sosial berdasarkan langkah penyelesaian Polya yaitu kesalahan memahami masalah termasuk ke dalam kesalahan dengan kategori kecil. Sedangkan, kesalahan menyu­sun rencana, kesalahan menyelesaikan perencanaan, dan kesalahan memeriksa kembali termasuk ke dalam kesalahan dengan kategori cukup tinggi.Kata kunci: analisis kesalahan, soal cerita matematika,langkah penyelesaian Polya.Abstract: Mathematical word problems are often considered difficult by students, so there are many mistakes made by students in answering mathematical word problems. The research aim is to analyze the types of errors made by students in solving mathematical word problems based on Polya's completion steps. This research uses descriptive research method with quantitative approach. VII grade students of SMP Negeri in Central Banjarmasin District are the population of this study. Simple random sampling technique was used in the research so that five schools with a total 422 students had been choosen. Data collection techniques used test (essay questions) and it was analyzed based on Polya's completion steps. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that there were four types of errors made by VII grade students of SMP Negeri in Central Banjarmasin District in solving mathematical word problems about Social Arithmetic based on Polya's completion steps, namely error in understanding problems included in errors with small categories. Meanwhile, error in planning, error in completing plans, and error in re-checking are included in the errors with a fairly high category. Keywords: error analysis, mathematical word problems, Polya's completion steps

Newman (1977) form Australia was defined five specific literacy and numeracy skills as crucial to performance on mathematical word problems: (1) reading error, (2) comprehension error, (3) transformation error, (4) process skills error, and (5) encoding error. The purpose of this study is to comparison Newman Error Analysis (NEA) between students are memorize and not memorize Al-Quran in solving word problem. This research is a qualitative research, and the subject of this research is students in grade 11th of MA in central lombok, with respectively six school in sub-district.. The result of this research is there are differences Newman’s Error Analysis (NEA) Between Students Are Memorize and Not Memorize Al-Quran in Solving Math Word Problems.

Cognitive Problems

University students still found difficulties in working successfully mathematical word problems. Some researchers attributed this to students’ weak cognitive and abstract thinking. To address such problem, this study aimed to understand student’s cognitive approaches in processing mathematics information to determine students’ level of cognition and come up with classroom activities that enhance the desired approaches in processing mathematical information which influences learning. A total of thirty-seven students of SLSU – Tomas Oppus were the respondents of this descriptive-correlational study. A standardized Mathematics Information Processing Scale (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient=.89) was utilized to gather the data for this study. Statistical analysis revealed that there is no significant difference in the performance of male and female mathematics majors in solving word problems who performed at below average level. The same finding is found between male and female mathematics majors in their approaches in processing mathematics information when solving metacognitive problems, when doing deep-associative study, and when doing strategic study. Correlational analysis revealed that a strong relationship exists between solving metacognitive problems and doing associative and strategic study approaches. This study concludes that students who apply associative and strategic study methods perform well in solving meta-cognitive problems.Keywords: Mathematics, Processing Mathematics Information, Action Research, Philippines

Abstract Mathematics educators are concerned about students’ lack of ability to translate mathematical word problems into computable forms. Researchers argue that linguistic problems lie at the root of students’ difficulties with mathematical word problems. The issue becomes more complicated for bilingual students. It is argued that if students study mathematics in a second language they cannot be as successful as when they study in their first language. This study investigates the relationship between reading comprehension and performance on mathematics word problems in L1 and L2 for students learning English as a second language in a delayed partial immersion program. Data were collected from 250 Turkish students from Grade 8 of a private school in Istanbul through reading comprehension tests in L1 and L2 and an algebra word problems test prepared in L1 and L2. The results indicate a positive relationship between reading comprehension and mathematics performance. They also show that the students who participated in this study were not disadvantaged when they studied mathematics in English.
