In conducting students' learning activities that do not always work, there are often things that cause failure. The study aims to describe the difficulties students have experienced and to study the mistakes of the students in working on the tests in mathematics learning on the set subject. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive with a case study approach. Data collection techniques with problem instruments, interviews, and documentation. The legitimacy of data using technique triangulation. Data analysis through the data reduction phase, data presentation, and withdrawal of conclusions. The research was conducted with the subject of his research 30 students. The results showed that the type of difficulties experienced by students in the form of 1) difficulty in understanding the problem is the inability of the students to interpret the mathematical symbols on the subject of the set, 2) difficulty transforming that is the inability of students determining the set formula, 3) difficulty in the completion process is that students are not able to perform binary counting operations to solve the set problem. Then it can be concluded the types of difficulty learning mathematics that students experience in the subject of the association can be classified into 3 types, namely difficulty in understanding the problem, difficulty transforming the problem, and difficulty solving problems.

Background. Student reasoning in learning mathematics contributes significantly to the achievement of student mathematics learning outcomes. The main objective of this study is to investigate the process of reversible reasoning in students for inverse problems, in the case of Adjie (Ad). The research method used to reveal the reversible reasoning in Adjie's case using descriptive qualitative research methods. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling technique where the research sample was selected based on reversible reasoning criteria. Retrieval research data uses the results of students' mathematical work, think aloud, interviews, and the components that cause reversible reasoning. The results of our study found that the process begins with an obstacle that causes Ad to be unable to continue the resolution process, resulting in a metacognition process by analyzing the problem again analytically and developing other heuristic strategies. Ad shows a change in perspective where he initially interpreted inverse as the act of swapping independent and dependent variables and switched to interpreting inverse as the opposite of a function process involving analogy and image representation. The contribution of this research provides knowledge that reversible reasoning can occur in understanding and solving mathematical problems in inverse material.
