The purpose of this research is to describe the representation of sixth grade students in solving mathematics word problems. The focus of the representation of this research is an external representation which is viewed from students with high mathematical abilities. The method used in this research is task-based interview, by giving a problem test of word problems. Students who have a high level of abilities, he makes pictures of all problems and successfully solve the problems. Students whose level of abilities is lacking, he only makes incomplete symbol / verbal representations, he has wrong when solving the problems. Various kinds of representations and increasing abilities in many problems such as multiplying exercises and solve the word pronlem. Applying various representations to students are very important to be improved by students in order to succeed in solving various mathematical word problems.

This study aims to describe the ability of Kumon’s students, 7-8 years old, in solving mathematics word problems. This study done in December 2012 used cumulative approach with survey method. The respondents were the students of Kuman Course in North Jakarta. The data collected by distributing the questions to the respondents were analyzed applying simple statistic technique. Findings show that 86%of the respondents belong to high category while 14% belong to medium category. and no students belongs to low category. The implication of this study is Kumon students have the ability to solve mathematics word problem, but they still have to do more exercises in solving mathematics word problems continually. Besides, the Kumon Course should use media in the teaching of mathematics word problems.

<em>The essence of mathematics is aimed at solving everyday problems. However, so far mathematics still a subject that is considered difficult. One factor that influences learning success is self-efficacy. This study aims to analyze the level of self-efficacy of sixth grade students on the results of mathematics learning. The sample in this study were all sixth grade students of SD Negeri 7 Kebumen as many as 20 students. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection techniques use: (1) Questionnaire; and (2) interviews (3) observations and (4) documentation. The analysis used is descriptive qualitative. The results showed that: Students in sixth grade SDN 7 Kebumen had varying levels of self-efficacy. Students who have a high level of self-efficacy get high mathematics learning outcomes, because they have confidence or self-efficacy and are more persistent in facing difficulties. Students who have low levels of efficacy get less satisfying learning outcomes.</em>

Diagnostic Profile

A diagnostic system developed by the investigators was used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of sixth-grade students in solving word problems. The diagnostic system involved three separate tests at each of six levels of difficulty. These tests were administered to all sixth-grade students in two elementary schools. Complete data were obtained for 217 students, and these data provided a diagnostic profile for each student consisting of a score for computational skills, a score for reading skills, a score for problem-interpretation skills, and a score for skills in integrating the other skills into the total solution of word problems. Each of computation, reading, and problem-interpretation skills represented the major difficulty in word problem solving.

Gender differences in mathematical sub-skills Significant gender differences favouring boys were found among Norwegian sixth-grade students in total mathematical test score and in the sub-scores of numeracy, measurement, fractions, geometry and word problems. No significant differences were found in addition and subtraction or in multiplication and division. Items requiring an understanding of decimal numbers discriminated in favour of the boys. The study revealed the dominance of boys in the upper ranges of ability in mathematics, showing that small average gender differences can hide large differences in a highly able group of students.

Interest And Motivation

The ability of teachers as educators in creating a conducive and effective learning atmosphere as well as fun which is the main goal in the learning process. The use of learning media through hyperlink-based audio visual in the learning process is the main choice in generating interest and motivation of students in learning activities. Audio visual media is a multimedia device that integrates various types of media such as the sound of an animated text, video image inserted into the created program. The use of this media is an interactive instructional media which will help the effectiveness of the learning process in delivering the content of the lesson. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and interest in the use of learning media through hyperlink- based audio visual which was held at SDN Basanah Tanah Merah subdistrict for 20 sixth-grade students learning the science subjects about the solar system in the form of Microsoft power point. This research was a research and development following the model suggested by Dick and Carey. This method was used to generate the product and can be used in education as reference of learning. The results of research indicate that the instructional media through hyperlink- based audio visual used in the activities learning has a high level of effectiveness and interest in students in the learning process activities, especially on science subjects seen from the motivation of students in asking and answering.

This research was conducted on 60 pupils at fourth level in an Elementary School in Banda Aceh (MIN 1 Banda Aceh). Comparing to other schools in Aceh, the school has a good quality, in this case middle ability of the grade students, than others. The experimental design both qualitative and quantitative approaches, in order to investigate students’ abilities to solve word problems. There are two groups, namely, experimental group which using realistic mathematics education (RME) approach in instruction , and another group without using RME in instruction. in the case using instrument, both groups used the same instrument in this research. Moreover, eksperimental case research Pre-test Post-test Control Group Design was used, in order to investigate differences between student who has ability to solve word problem by using RME approach and student who get instructions without RME approach and so to know interaction between students ability to solve word problem by mathematics realistic. The investigation based on the level ability mathematics students (high level, medium level and low level), and to see students’ attitude toward mathematics realistic. Based on data analysis, it is found that a differences of students abilities between experimental group and control group. The differences of the abilities shown by statistics test by anova test (by using α = 0,05). It means that there are differences of students’ abilities to solve word problems using RME and students’ ability to word word problems using conventional learning as learning instructions.therefore, there is no interaction between students’ abilities in order to solve word problems in RME based on students’ abilities (high level, medium level and low level) and students’ attitude toward RME approach.
