This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students' mathematics. Low learning outcomes are characteristics of students experiencing obstacles or obstacles during the learning process. This study aims to describe and analyze the factors that cause students' learning difficulties in mathematics. The sample of this study amounted to 32 students of class XI IPS 4 SMA Negeri 2 Sungai Limau. The type of research used is descriptive research with a quantitative approach. The instrument used is a learning difficulty questionnaire, interview sheets and documentation to strengthen the results of the questionnaire answers. The data analysis technique of this research is the analysis of questionnaires and interviews. The results of this study indicate that: 1) internal factors that affect learning difficulties are described as follows, in the indicator of readiness in learning as much as 71.8% in the category of very influential on the learning process, on motivation indicators as much as 29% in the category of being quite influential in the learning process , on the indicator of interest as much as 53% with the category influential in the mathematics learning process and the health indicator as much as 50.6% with the category having an effect on learning mathematics. 2) external factors that affect learning difficulties in mathematics are as follows, indicators of family factors in learning as much as 37.5% with a category that is quite influential on the mathematics learning process, on school indicators as much as 51.5% with categories that affect the online learning process and on environmental indicators community as much as 39.6% with the category quite influential on the student learning process.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of algebraic equation solving intervention for sixth graders with mathematics learning difficulties (MD). A total of 48 students with MD were randomly assigned to either the algebraic equation solving intervention, Mystery Math ( n = 24) or control condition ( n = 24). The multicomponent intervention was based on the principles of explicit instruction and focused on improving conceptual and procedural knowledge of algebraic equation solving using concrete manipulatives. Students in the intervention group received instruction in pairs, 30 min per session, 3 sessions per week for 5 weeks (i.e., 15 sessions). The results indicated that the main effect of intervention was significant for 2 proximal measures of mathematics vocabulary, and conceptual and procedural understanding of algebraic equation solving with large effect sizes. However, the main effect of intervention was not significant for distal measures of comprehensive pre-algebra skills and whole-number computations. The findings demonstrate that grade-level standards can be successfully taught to students with MD. Implications for practice are discussed.

Easy facts first, then harder ones! This is the natural route to take in the mastery of basic addition facts, and addition doubles are certainly among those “easy” facts. Using objects to help children “picture” each double makes learning the doubles even easier and a lot of fun. That at least has been the experience of children enrolled in the Illinois State University Mathematics Learning Clinic for area children with learning difficulties in mathematics.

AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk membahas 1) kesulitan belajar matematika seperti apa yang dialami siswa dalam pembelajaran yang menerapkan PMRI; 2) alasan mengapa siswa mengalami kesulitan belajar matematika dalam Pembelajaran Matematika menggunakan PMRI? Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan jenis-jenis kesulitan yang dialami oleh siswa, disertai dengan faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan kesulitan matematika. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif deskriptif dengan 23 siswa yang menunjukkan kesulitan dalam belajar matematika. Teknik yang digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data adalah observasi, wawancara, kuesioner, dokumentasi, dan catatan lapangan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah jenis kesulitan belajar yang dialami siswa, yaitu kesulitan dalam memahami konsep sistem persamaan dua variabel dan tiga variabel, kesulitan menghitung angka dalam sistem persamaan linear untuk dua variabel dan tiga variabel, dan kesulitan memecahkan masalah dalam masalah cerita dalam materi SPLDV dan SPLTV.  AbstractThis research is aimed to discuss 1) what kind of mathematics learning difficulties students experience in PMRI learning; 2) the reasons why students are having difficulty learning mathematics in Mathematics Learning using PMRI? This study aims to describe the types of difficulties experienced by students, accompanied by factors causing mathematical difficulties. This study is a descriptive qualitative study with 23 students who indicated difficulties in learning mathematics. The technique used to collect data is observation, interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and field notes. Data analysis is done by data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study are the types of learning difficulties experienced by students, namely difficulties in understanding the concepts of system of two-variable and three-variable linear equations, difficulties in calculating numbers in a system of linear equations for two variables and three variables, and the difficulty of solving problems in story problems in SPLDV and SPLTV material.

This study aims to describe: 1) Materials that are considered difficult in mathematics in Even Semester, 2) Characteristics of mathematics learning difficulties experienced by students in class I, 3) Factors that cause learning difficulties, 4) Teachers' efforts in dealing with mathematics learning difficulties. This type of research is qualitative research. The informants in this study were class I students who had difficulty learning mathematics and also a class I teachers in SDN Banyuajuh 9. Data collection techniques used were observation, interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed through steps of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The data validity checking technique is done by triangulating sources and techniques. The results showed that: 1) Material in mathematics that was considered difficult was the addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, 2) Its characteristics were visual impairment and difficulty in language and reading, 3) Factors affecting students included interest and motivation to learn low mathematics and lack of mathematics learning media used by teachers, 4) Efforts made by teachers include providing group study guidance, asking smart students to help teach students who have difficulty learning mathematics, carrying out remedial tests, giving additional assignments and giving learning media so that students' learning processes are more concrete.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendiskripsikan: 1) Materi yang dianggap sulit pada mata pelajaran matematika Semester Genap, 2) Karakteristik kesulitan belajar matematika yang dialami siswa kelas I, 3) Faktor penyebab kesulitan belajar, 4) Upaya guru dalam menangani kesulitan belajar matematika. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif. Informan dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas I yang mengalami kesulitan belajar matematika dan juga guru kelas I di UPTD SDN Banyuajuh 9. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Data dianalisis melalui langkah-langkah reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Teknik pemeriksaan keabsahan data dilakukan dengan triangulasi sumber dan teknik.

In some traditional large-class classrooms, there are problems such as inactive teaching process and poor teaching pertinence, which makes some students who are easily distracted and have the poor receptive ability cannot keep up with the teaching progress and gradually become students with learning difficulties. This research method using pretest-posttest control group design. The sample of this research is the experimental class method there are 48 students and in the control class 48 students grade 7 junior high school students. based on the results, Micro-classes have the characteristics of short, compact and powerful, which can effectively help students with learning difficulties to learn and master mathematics efficiently within the effective learning time. Based on the characteristics of students with learning difficulties and micro-classes, the author explores the actual improvement effect of micro-classes on the mathematics learning of students with learning difficulties by designing micro-classes in a targeted manner and conducting comparative teaching experiments in the first two parallel classes.
