Comprehending English text is still regarded as hard for students. Metacognitive strategies have been considered effective in overcoming reading difficulties by many researchers. The objective of this study is to describe the application of three types of metacognitive reading strategies (global strategies, problem solving strategies, and support strategies) used by the students of Senior High School (SMAN) 1 Ingin Jaya, Aceh Besar. It is a descriptive qualitative study. Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory (MARSI) questionnaire suggested by Mokhtari and Reichard (2002) was used to collect the data. The result of the study revealed that the students generally showed moderate awareness of all strategies and held a preference of using Problem Solving Strategies, followed by Support Strategies and Global Strategies respectively. The study also showed that high performance students used the strategies more frequently than low performance students. It can be concluded that the more students aware of using metacognitive reading strategies, the better their performance is in reading skill. Therefore, teaching the students to use metacognitive strategies can be a solution in enhancing students’ reading ability.

<em>In mathematics, students' ability to solve problems is very much needed. Every student has different abilities. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct a research in order to find out the students' abilities in solving problems in mathematics, especially in fractional material. In researching, quantitative description is the method chosen by the researcher. In this study using a research instrument in the form of a test to measure students' ability to solve mathematical problems and conducted interviews. Data analysis of the results of mathematical tests about solving fractions of fifth grade students at SD Negeri 2 Kalirejo is in the high category. This is evident from the results of tests at SD Negeri 2 Kalirejo that included in the high category were 61.29%, moderate were 23.80% and the low and very low categories were 12.89%.</em>

This unit began as a favor for a friend who needed some examples of children writing about mathematics. but it ended as a marvelous activity for the first week of school. The unit consisted of a series of lessons that furnished my fifth-grade students with a review of geometry and problem solving using geometric concepts and allowed them to communicate with each other about these concepts both in writing and orally.

<em>The purpose of this research is to improve the students’ ability to solve math word problem in fifth grade of State Elementary School of Tegalsari No.60 Surakarta in the academic year 2017/2018 through Logan Avenue Problem Solving (LAPS-Heuristic) learning. The data collecting techniques were in-depth interviews, observations, tests, and documentation. The data validating technique were content validity, technique triangulation, and source triangulation. Data analyzing were descriptive comparative analysis and interactive analysis. The results of this class action research showed the achievement of the ability to solve math word problem at fifth-grade students of Tegalsari State Elementary School No.60 Surakarta academic year 2017/2018. The classical completeness of students’ score to solve math word problem has increased, from 33,33% in pretest to 57,14% in cycle I, and 85,71% in cycle II. The conclusion of this research is the use of LAPS-Heuristic learning can improve the students’ ability to solve math word problem in fifth-grade of State Elementary School of Tegalsari No.60 Surakarta academic year 2017/2018.</em>

<p><strong><em>Abstract:</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p><em>The study aimed: (1) to describe the steps of PBL with model materials, (2) to improve mathematics, and (3) to describe the constraints and solutions. It was a collaborative classroom action research (CAR) carried out in three cycles. Each cycle consisted of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were teachers and 20 students. Data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and tests. Data analysis included data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that: (1) the steps to the application of PBL with model materials to improve mathematics about solid figures to fifth grade students of SD Negeri 1 Danasri in academic year of 2019/2020 were: (a) examining problem orientation with the model materials, (b) preparing the students to work in groups, (c) having the students to investigate individually or in groups with the help of model materials, (d) having presentation and discussion by using model materials; (e) analyzing and evaluating  problem solving process with the help of model materials; (2) the application of PBL with model materials improved mathematics about solid figures. The average percentages of mastery learning were 85% in the first cycle, 90% in the second cycle, and 95% in the third cycle: (3) obstacles in each meeting were (a) a few students used the model materials as tools while learning process and having group discussions, (b) a few students asked questions. The solutions were: (a) the teacher introduced the model materials, (b) the teacher stimulated the students to ask questions.</em>

The paper presents the adaptation of the Metacognitive Awareness of ReadingStrategies Inventory (MARSI) in the Greek language. MARSI was designed toevaluate the metacognitive awareness and the perceived use of school andacademic content reading strategies by students. The tool measures three subscales: General strategies, problem-solving strategies, and support reading strategies. The present study examined the factorial structure and the psychometric properties of the Greek version of MARSI revealing good internal consistency and testretest reliability. The use of MARSI showed that the Greek students with and without learning difficulties use metacognitive reading strategies, but they score low in support reading strategies.

This research is background by a low mathematical ability of students’ reasoning and learning activities in mathematics. Therefore, the aim of this research is to increase students’ reasoning and learning activities with the implementation of problem solving learning model. Type of research is classroom action research which have a cycle model consist of  four components, namely planning, action, observation and reflection. This research conducted in two cycles that consisting of four meetings. At each cycle student activities during the learning process were observed, and at the end of each cycle a test of learning outcomes was given. The research is carried out with 30 fifth grade students from a public elementary school in semester 2 of the 2019/2020 school year. The instruments used were observation, and field notes, interviews and test results. The data obtained in the research were analyzed using qualitative analysis, analyzing the collection of data until all data has been collected. The data is reduced based on the problem under study, followed by the presentation of the data and finally the conclusion or verification. The results show that fifth grade students’ mathematicalreasoning and learning activities increase after the implementation of problem solving learning model.
