This article describes the following phenomenon: Gifted high school students trained in solving Olympiad-style mathematics problems experienced conflict between their conceptions of effectiveness and elegance (the EEC). This phenomenon was observed while analyzing clinical task-based interviews that were conducted with three members of the Israeli team participating in the International Mathematics Olympiad. We illustrate how the conflict between the students’ conceptions of effectiveness and elegance is reflected in their geometrical problem solving, and analyze didactical and epistemological roots of the phenomenon.

This research aims to analyze high school students’ creative thinking in solving mathematical problems based on learning motivation during online learning. This type of research is qualitative descriptive research. Five tenth grade students with different levels of learning motivation during online learning, each of which is a representative of the very good and good learning motivation group were chosen to be the subjects of this research. The instruments used in this research were an learning motivation questionnaire during online learning to measure the level of student learning motivation during online learning, mathematics problems to test students’ creative thinking, and interview guidelines. The data on the results of the learning motivation questionnaire during online learning were analyzed using the Likert scale, the data on the results of the creative thinking test were analyzed based on components of creative thinking fluency, flexibility, novelty and the interview data were analyzed using the Analysis Interactive method from Miles and Huberman. The results of this study indicate that not all students with very good levels of motivation during online learning meet the components of creative thinking fluency, flexibility, and novelty. Students with a good level of motivation during online learning meet the creative thinking component, namely fluency.

This research is a qualitative research with descriptive method. This study aims to describe the ability to think creatively based on the type of student personality, the type of choleric personality in solving mathematical problems. The research subjects were students in the odd semester of class XII IPA 1 SMA Negeri 22 Makassar, the 2019/2020 school year. This subject was chosen by giving a personality questionnaire to students. The data was collected using a mathematical problem solving test instrument on the number sequence material and interviews. The validity of the data was checked by using the triangulation method. The results showed: Students with choleric personality in solving mathematical problems. In question number 1, the subject had difficulty in finding the formula for the nth term. But the subject kept trying and the spirit of trying until finally found the correct formula for the nth term. The subject of the choleric personality type is also said to be able to fulfill the three indicators of creative thinking, namely fluency, flexibility, and novelty. In question number 2, the subject had difficulty finding many ways to solve the problem and only met one indicator of creative thinking, namely fluency.

This study aims to examine and analyze about problem-based learning approach to improve connection ability in SMP. The population in this research is VII SMP in Karawang. This study was designed qualitative descriptive method. Based on the results and discussion students connection ability had improved. It is known from the number of students who experience improvement in each cycle. In the first cycle shows that the results of mathematics learning on triangle and quadriplegic classically obtained scores of students from the questions given in the first cycle test, obtained 18 students reached 60% of 30 students who are able to obtain value above the KKM while in cycle II shows that the results of mathematics learning on triangle and quadrilateral material has reached 83.34% or as many as 25 students from 30 junior high school students who get grade VII above the KKM with an average value of 83. This shows an increase of 23.34% as many as 7 people students from the first cycle test. Means only 9% or as many as 5 students still score below the KKM.

This study describes high school students' reasoning profiles in solving logic problems based on impulsive and reflective cognitive styles. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The subjects of this study consisted of one impulsive cognitive style student and one reflective cognitive style student. The supporting instruments used were the Matching Familiar Figure Test (MFFT) cognitive style test, interview guidelines, and problem-solving tasks (TPM). The data collection technique uses the problem solving task-based interview technique. Data analysis techniques using data reduction, data presentation, concluding / verification. The results showed that impulsive students solved the problem by changing the implication sentence from the question to the implication symbol, then making a truth table from the implication equivalence. Still, there were errors in writing the symbol of one of the statements. Next, the impulsive students wrote and mentioned the statement sentences obtained as a result of completion. Impulsive students provide reasons or evidence for one or several solutions by determining the second statement as an official statement and writing an example of an office sentence with universal and exponential quantor symbols. Reflective students solve problems by writing down what is known and what is asked from the questions, then underlining each statement, and marking it with a statement symbol. Then the students wrote the implication sentence with the implication symbol. Furthermore, the reflective students wrote down and mentioned the solutions obtained while circling the results obtained. With a tone of doubt, the students said the sentence "negation of implications in the form of symbols.

The purpose of this study is to describe the intuition characteristics of junior high school students in solving mathematical problems viewed from mathematical abilities. This research based on qualitative descriptive study. The subjects of this study were taken from Lab School UNESA  Junior High School, which consisted of three students from class VIII A, namely one student with high, moderate,  and low mathematical ability. The method that used to collect data consists of the mathematical ability test,  problem solving test and so of the interview method. Data analysis uses the intuitive characteristic indicators at each stage of the problem solving. The conclusion of this study indicate that student with high mathematical ability at the stage of understanding the problem using affirmatory intuition with the characteristics of extrapolativeness, intrinsic certainty and perseverance, at the stage of making plans using anticipatory intuition with the characteristics of global ideas, and at the stage of carrying out plans and checking again not using intuition. Student with moderate mathematical ability at the stage of understanding the problem using affirmatory intuition with the characteristics of extrapolativeness, intrinsic certainty and perseverance, at the stage of making plans using anticipatory intuition with the characteristics of global ideas, and at the stage of carrying out plans and checking again not using intuition. Student with low mathematical ability at the stage of understanding the problem using affirmatory intuition with the characteristics of perseverance and coerciveness, at the stage of making plans using anticipatory intuition with the characteristics of global ideas, and at the stage of carrying out plans and checking again not using intuition. Keywords: Intuition, Problem solving , Mathematics ability

The study aims to find out pseudo-thinking in solving mathematical problems. The methods used in this study are qualitative descriptive. The research subject is junior high school students using the purposive sampling technique, the students are grouped into three ranks i.e. low, medium and high rankings which each ranked 3 students as respondents. The total number of respondents was 9 students. Data collection techniques using tests, interviews, and documentation. From the results of the study gained that: 1) students who are ranked low in solving mathematical problems are experiencing pseudo-analytic or pseudo-false, 2) students who are in the moderate level also experience pseudo-analytic or pseudo-incorrect, 3) students who are in high ranking experience pseudo-analytic and pseudo-4) students who experience pseudo-thinking choose procedures using their own reasoning and convince it as a correct understanding , so there is no attempt to re-examine what he has done
