This research is motivated by the low ability to solve mathematical problems in fifth grade students of SDN Kaliabang Tengah 1 Bekasi Utara. Seen when researchers provide exercises in the description of mathematical problems in the form of stories on fraction material. There is still a lack of student knowledge regarding fractional material. When working on the story problem students simply add up or subtract the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator, without first equating the denominator. Students have not been able to solve problems correctly and many are still wrong. The lack of students' ability to infer results obtained from mathematical story problems. Enthusiastic students are lacking in solving mathematical story problems that are considered difficult. This study aims to improve the ability to solve mathematical problems using problem solving models in fifth grade students at SDN Kaliabang Tengah 1, North Bekasi. The research method uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) which consists of 3 cycles.. The conclusion of this study is the problem solving model can improve the ability to solve mathematical problems in fifth grade students at SDN Kaliabang Tengah 1 Bekasi Utara.

<p>This research aimed to examine students’ perceptions of their life skills while attending project-based learning (PBL) schools. The study focused on three questions including: 1) What are students’ perceptions of their development of life skills in project-based learning schools? 2) In what ways, if any, do students perceive an increase in their life skill development over a one-year period of time? 3) What relationship, if any, is there between grade level and students’ perceptions of their life skills? The subjects were 275 6-12 students from two project-based learning charter schools in Minnesota. One school was located in a rural location; the other in an urban location. The triangulating data collection methods included a Likert-scale survey, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. Quantitative analysis using SPSS were used to analyze the survey data. Qualitative analysis methods used were coding and identification of emergent themes. Qualitative results showed perceptions of most improved skills as time management, collaboration, communication, and self-directedness. Quantitative data results showed most improved skills within an academic year as responsibility, problem-solving, self-directedness, and work ethic. Self-directedness was the single skill that was evident in all data results. The results showed students’ perceptions of their life skills were positive and that project-based learning helped them develop multiple life skills including, but not limited to communication, collaboration, problem-solving, responsibility, and time management. Implications of this research suggest that project-based learning has a positive influence on students’ life skills development across 6-12 grade levels and helps prepare them to be successful in the 21<sup>st</sup> century global community and economy.</p>

This paper uses the mathematical software Maple as the auxiliary tool to study the differential problem of four types of rational functions. We can obtain the closed forms of any order derivatives of these rational functions by using binomial theorem. On the other hand, we propose four examples to do calculation practically. The research methods adopted in this study involved finding solutions through manual calculations and verifying these solutions by using Maple. This type of research method not only allows the discovery of calculation errors, but also helps modify the original directions of thinking from manual and Maple calculations. For this reason, Maple provides insights and guidance regarding problem-solving methods.
