The research aims to describe the role of habits of minds on the student’s mathematical problem solving skills. Habits of mind studied are persisting, metacognition, thinking flexibly, and applying past knowledge to a new situation. The method used in this research is quantitative correlational. Samples were taken as much as 49 fifth grade students at SDN Walantaka 1. Data collection techniques using HOM scale and essay tests. Based on data analysis results obtained average habits of mind score of 68.26 including into medium category and problem solving skills of 53.68 in low category. The results of the regression test on a significant level of α = 0.05 obtained a conclusion that there is a significant influence between habits of mind on the mathematical problem solving, with a contribution of 67.40%. Based on the findings, the habits of mind plays an important role in problem solving and teachers should be able to develop that aspect.

This research was aimed to find the relationship between the fifth-grade students’ number sense and mathematical problem-solving. The participants of this study were 73 fifth grade students from a private Islamic school in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. This study applied a quantitative research method, namely a simple correlation. Instruments for measuring students’ number sense consist of 5 indicators; number concepts, multiple representations, effects of operations, equivalent expressions, and computing and counting strategies. While, the instruments to measure students’ problem-solving consist of 4 domains; numbers, fractions, geometry, and measurements. The results showed that there was a significant correlation between students’ number sense and mathematical problem-solving. After that, a correlation test was also conducted between each number sense indicator and each mathematical problem-solving domain. The indicator of computing and counting strategies has the highest correlation with measurement.

This research is motivated by the low problem solving ability of students in Mathematics in class V SDIT Nurut Taqwa West Cikarang. This study aims to improve the ability to solve Mathematical problems through Problem Posing learning models for fifth grade students at SDIT Nurut Taqwa Cikarang Barat. This research method uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) which consists of 3 cycles. Each cycle consists of stages of action planning, implementation of actions, stages of observation and assessment, then reflection. Subjects numbered 19 students. The data in this collection was obtained using data collection techniques in the form of written tests and observations. The criterion for success in this study is if 80% of the number of students reach the KKM value that has been set is 70. Based on the results of the study obtained in cycle I, the problem solving ability of students obtained a percentage of mastery learning by 32% with an average value of 58.95. In cycle II, the problem solving ability of students obtained a percentage of completeness of 63% with an average value of 74. In cycle III, the problem solving ability of students obtained a percentage of mastery learning by 89% with an average value of 85. The conclusion of this study is a model Problem Posing learning can improve Mathematical problem solving skills in fifth grade students at SDIT Nurut Taqwa Cikarang Barat.

The aim of this study was to describe and to test the effect of problem solving learning model oriented toward Balinese local wisdom (PSBLW) and type of mathematics problems (open and closed problems) on the ability to solve mathematics problem of the fifth grade students of elementary in Singaraja. This quasi-experimental research used non-equivalent control group design with pretest and posttest. The data were analyzed with factorial 2x2 analysis of covariance (Anacova). The sample consisted of the fifth grade students of Elementary School with the total of 152 students spread into 4 classes. The sample was selected by cluster random sampling. The data were collected using mathematics problem solving ability test at the 5% significance level (α = 0.05). The statistical analysis was done with the aid of SPSS 16.0 for Windows. The results showed that (1) the ability, may to solve mathematics problems of the students who learned through PSBLW is higher than those who learned through direct instructional model; (2) the students’ability to solve problems facilitated with open mathematics problems was higher than that with closed mathematics problems. The conclusion is local wisdom-oriented problem solving learning model efective to improve mathematical problem solving ability.

Implementation of Problem Based Learning Models on Mathematical Problem Solving Capabilities of Elementary School Class V Fractions. The objectives to be achieved in this study are to determine the implementation of Problem Based Learning models in the mathematical problem solving ability of fraction material for fifth grade students of elementary schools and To identify whether there is an increase or not the ability to solve mathematical problems of students towards the implementation of Problem Based Learning models of fractions for students class V SDN Tlogorejo Pati. This type of research is a mixed methods research method in the form of concurrent embedded. The study population was all fifth grade students of SD Tlogorejo Pati 2019/2020 Academic Year. Samples takeere 30 fifth grade students using Nonprobability Sampling in the form of Saturated Sampling. Data collection techniques used for research instruments are tests, interviews, observations and documentation. The instruments used were validated tests by experts, interview guidelines and observation guidelines. Data in this study were obtained through interviews, tests, observations, and documentation. Based on the results of calculations using the t test obtained tcount = 30.29 with ttable = 2.001. Because tcount = 30.29> ttable = 2.001, H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that the ability to solve problems before and after treatment is not the same in grade V elementary school students. Then the results of calculations using N-Gain obtained calculation results of 0.640. These results fall into the moderate classification. So it can be concluded an increase in the ability to solve problems in fractional material gets an average increase of 0.640. This means that there is an increase in the ability to understand the problem in the Problem Based Learning model.

The objective of this research is to know the differences in mathematical problem solving skills between using mathematical habits of mind strategy with conventional learning. Methods that is used is quasi-experimental, with non-equivalent control group design.  The subject of this study was a 7th grade junior high school student with 56 number of people which were 12th-13th years old. with sampling techniques i.e. purposive sampling. Instruments that is used in this research is description test which was arranged based on mathematical problem solving skills material. Data analysis technique is with N-Gain T-test. The result show that the significant N-Gain score obtained is 0.008. The N-Gain score is smaller tha (α = 0.05), which means that there is a significant difference in the increase in mathematical problem solving abilities toward participant student who use mathematical habits of mind strategies with those using conventional learning. statistically proven habits of mind strategy that influences problem solving can be one of the practitioners' choices in teaching mathematics in basic education.

Habits of mind had the impact toward mathematical problemsolving skills, especially for the pre-service teacher who will facilitate the development of their students’ mathematical problem solving skills in the future. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to analyze mathematical problem solving habits of mind of the pre-service teacher. 22 undergraduate students were the research subject that was chosen by purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was habits of mind scale, interview guide, and mathematical problemsolving test. The study found that level of mathematical problem solving habits of mind of the pre-service teacher was apprentice and practitioner. Based on the indicators, habits of thinking flexibly had the largest frequency of subject who had novice level. Whereas, flexibility in choosing and using strategy determined whether the subject could solve the problem or not. This research hypothesized that this condition was affected by prior mathematical ability. Therefore, future research and development of mathematical problem solving habits of mind of the pre-service teacher were needed.
