Abstract:. Problem solving is one of ways to develop higher order thinking skills. Strategy of problem solving that can be developed in mathematics learning is Polya's strategy. This study aims to analyze the problem solving difficulties of elementary school students based on Polya strategy. To support this research,descriptive analysis is used on seven elementary school students . The results show that, the difficulty of mathematical problems solving of elementary school students consist of the difficulty of understanding the problem, determining the mathematical formula/concepts that is used, making connections between mathematical concepts, and reviewing the correctness of answers with questions. These happened because the problem presented is in a story problem, that is rarely studied by the students. Students usually solve mathematical problems in a form of routine questions, which only require answers in a form of algorithmic calculations. Abstrak: Pemecahan masalah adalah salah satu cara dalam mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Salah satu strategi pemecahan masalah yang dapat dikembangkan pada pembelajaran matematik adalah strategi Polya. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kesulitan pemecahan masalah siswa sekolah dasar berdasarkan strategi Polya. Untuk mendukung penelitian ini digunakan analisis deskriptif pada tujuh orang siswa sekolah dasar. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa, kesulitan pemecahan masalah matematik siswa sekolah dasar meliputi, kesulitan memahami masalah, menentukan rumus/konsep matematik yang digunakan, membuat koneksi antar konsep matematika, dan melihat kembali kebenaran jawaban dengan soal. Hal tersebut disebabkan, masalah yang disajikan berupa soal cerita yang jarang dipelajari siswa. Siswa biasanya menyelesaikan masalah matematik berupa soal rutin, yang hanya menuntut jawaban berupa perhitungan algoritmik.

Implementation of Problem Based Learning Models on Mathematical Problem Solving Capabilities of Elementary School Class V Fractions. The objectives to be achieved in this study are to determine the implementation of Problem Based Learning models in the mathematical problem solving ability of fraction material for fifth grade students of elementary schools and To identify whether there is an increase or not the ability to solve mathematical problems of students towards the implementation of Problem Based Learning models of fractions for students class V SDN Tlogorejo Pati. This type of research is a mixed methods research method in the form of concurrent embedded. The study population was all fifth grade students of SD Tlogorejo Pati 2019/2020 Academic Year. Samples takeere 30 fifth grade students using Nonprobability Sampling in the form of Saturated Sampling. Data collection techniques used for research instruments are tests, interviews, observations and documentation. The instruments used were validated tests by experts, interview guidelines and observation guidelines. Data in this study were obtained through interviews, tests, observations, and documentation. Based on the results of calculations using the t test obtained tcount = 30.29 with ttable = 2.001. Because tcount = 30.29> ttable = 2.001, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that the ability to solve problems before and after treatment is not the same in grade V elementary school students. Then the results of calculations using N-Gain obtained calculation results of 0.640. These results fall into the moderate classification. So it can be concluded an increase in the ability to solve problems in fractional material gets an average increase of 0.640. This means that there is an increase in the ability to understand the problem in the Problem Based Learning model.

The research reveals a profile of reflective thinking of elementary school students in problem solving fractions based on his mathematical abilities. The instruments used in data collection is Test Problem Solving (TPM), interview. Selection of research subjects in a way given test is based on the ability of mathematics, namely mathematical skills of high, medium and low and further categorized and taken at least 2 people to serve as subjects. The research objective is: describe the profile of reflective thinking that math skills of elementary school students High, medium, and low. Based on the results of the study found reflective thinking profile and high ability students were as follows: (a) the step to understand the problems students have information/knowledge or data that is used to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done; (B) the planned step problem solving students have information/knowledge or data that is used to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done; (C) on measures to implement the plan in terms of information/knowledge or data used by students to respond, comes from inside (internal), could explain what has been done, realized the error and fix it, and communicate ideas with a symbol or image, and (d) the checking step back, namely information/knowledge or data that is used by students to respond, comes from inside (internal) and can explain what has been done. Profile of reflective thinking ability students lowly mathematics, namely: (a) at the stage of understanding the problem, students can determine known and asked in the problem, but the students' difficulties to explain the identification of the facts that have been done, the students explained the understanding vocabulary, and feel of existing data the matter is enough; (B) at the stage of implementing the plan, the students explained, organize and represent data on the issue, describes how to select the operation in solving a problem though students are not sure, and students' difficulty in explaining what he had done; (C) at the stage of implementing the plan, the student has information on calculation skills although the answer is not correct. Students difficulty in explaining about the skills calculations have been done, trying to communicate their ideas in the form of symbols or images, even if students rather difficult to describe, and realized there was an error when using a calculation skills and improve it; (D) at the stage of check, students' difficulties in explaining whether obtained estimates it approached, it makes senseKeywords: reflective thinking, problem solving, fractions, and math skills.
