Informational technologies, the latest challenges in the field of technical development of society condition irreversible environmental and human changes. In the context of these changes a special place is occupied by those activities that are directly or indirectly related to technical, cybernetic, mathematical activities. This actualizes the manifestation of mathematical abilities, giftedness for math activity in youth, features of creative potential, etc. The purpose of the study is to clarify the content and structure of psychological readiness of high school students for creative mathematical performance. The main content characteristics of the creative mathematical problem as a model for the study of creative mathematical activities are considered in the article. Based on the theory of learning problems, the psychological structure of mathematical task is determined. The structure contains the following components: a) the subject of the task (in its initial state or the ascending subject of the task); b) the model of desired state, ie the requirements (set and required) of the task. The contradiction of the creative mathematical situation first of all characterized by the object and subject of the creative mathematical task. The psychological readiness of high school students for creative mathematical performance is an integrated personality trait aimed at realizing of the cognitive abilities of young people in the process of solving creative mathematical problems. Since the process of creative mathematical thinking (creative mathematical activity) is determined by objective (subject-functional) and subjective-personal (motivation, emotional-volitional, value attitude) components, it is worth saying about subject-functional, subjective-personal types of psychological readiness of high school students to perform mathematical creative activities.

Difficulties experienced by students in learning greatly affect the achievement of student learning outcomes. This study aims to describe the results of the identification of the types of difficulties and the causes of student difficulties when solving problems based on Polya stages. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with the instrument used in written tests. The subjects of the research were 36 students of class IX at SMP Negeri 9 Cimahi. Based on the analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that the difficulties experienced by junior high school students when completing the Pythagorean theorem questions in the school are 1) difficulty understanding the problem 100%, 2) difficulty planning the completion of 40%, 3) difficulty implementing the plan 54.4%, and 4) difficulty in re-checking 76.7%. The causes of difficulties include 1) students are not accustomed to writing things that are known and asked of a problem 2) students are not accustomed to drawing conclusions from a mathematical problem 3) Concept errors because students do not understand the concept of the material. So, it is necessary to improve the learning process that prioritizes learning concepts rather than memorizing. Students must be accustomed to solving the application problems of a material. So, students will be able to solve contextual problems related to the material.

This research is motivated by the level of junior high school students' mathematical problem solving was still low. Based on the preliminary study which conducted by one of the schools in Batam shows the average score for mathematics was 62 for 100 scale. The purpose of this study is to obtain and investigate the improvement of students' problem-solving mastery on relations and functions material as the effect of  PAKEM model. The research method which used is pre-experiment and with one group pretest-posttest design. The subjects of this study were VIII grade students of one of the first junior school in Batam at odd semester 2015-2016 academic year, totally 32 students.  Sample of this research were taken by random sampling technique. Students’ problem solving mastery was measured by using problem-solving test, whereas the students’ problem-solving mastery improvement between before and after the concept of effect size implementation was calculated to find the effect size of applying the PAKEM model. The result showed that the effect size of applying the PAKEM model on improving problem solving mastery is 3.3, it means, the PAKEM model implementation on improving problem-solving mastery on function has a strong influence. It can be concluded that the PAKEM model implementation can improve problem solving mastery.
