Statistical reasoning is needed by students to understanding statistical concepts and problems. Students’ efforts in understanding statistical information and problems often involve statistical process, namely the process of organizing and reducing data and the process of analyzing and interpreting data.  This research is descriptive study with qualitative approach that aims to analyze and describe the senior high school students’ statistical reasoning in solving non-routine problems. The subjects in this study were three high school students of grade XII who have same sex and have equivalent mathematical abilities. The instruments used in this study consisted of the Mathematical Ability Test (MAT), the Statistical Reasoning Test (SRT), and interview guidlines. The results showed that students who have low mathematical ability are also reach low level in statistical reasoning. In solving problem related to process of organizing and reducing data, the students reached level 1 and level 2 in statistical reasoning, because the students determine the mode value using incorrect concepts and ways, that are input the data to the mode formula incorrectly, determining the mode value of data which are presented in the frequency distribution table just by looking at frequency column, and cannot combine and sort the data in percent form correctly. In solving the problem related to the process of analyzing and interpreting data, the students reached level 1 in statistical reasoning, because they cannot interpret the tendency of two data groups, so the response which are given is incorrect. Keywords: statistics, statistical process, statistical reasoning.

Problem solving is one of several important abilities a student must have. Problem solving is a planned process that mustbe done in order to get a certain solution of a problem that is not obtained immediately. One type of problem studentsmust solve is an open-ended problem. Open-ended problem solving for every student is certainly different from oneanother. The level of mathematical ability of students is one of the factors that influence these differences. This type ofresearch is a qualitative descriptive with the purpose to describe the profile of open-ended problem solving based onPolya’s steps viewed from mathematical ability level of junior high school students. Three students from grade VII arethe subjects in this research (one student having high mathematical ability, one student having moderate mathematicalability, and one student having low mathematical ability). This research uses instruments mathematical ability test, openended problem solving test, and interview guidelines. The results showed there were differences in the open-endedproblem solving profile on students with high, moderate, and low mathematical ability. Student with high mathematicalability can carry out all the steps of Polya’s problem solving. Student with moderate mathematical ability are able to carryout the step of understanding the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, however there are indicators that are notfulfilled at looking back’s step they are using the other way to solve the problem and make conclusion. Student with lowmathematical ability can not show the adequacy of the data at understanding the problem’s step and can not carry out thesteps of devising a plan, carrying out the plan and looking back.

Justification is the process of justifying a claim that is supported with evidence. Justification is the center of mathematics. Justification plays an important role in learning because it can help students improve understanding of mathematical concepts. By using a qualitative approach, this study aims to analyze the mathematical justification of high school students in solving problems on statistical topics. This research was conducted on 122 high school students by giving justification test questions on the topic of statistics resulted in 17% (21 students) included in the level justification level 3, 16% (19 students) included in level 2, 47% (47 students) included in level 1, and 20% (25 students) the rest are included in level 0. Further analysis was carried out to see the mathematical justification process by each level. The mathematical justification process consists of three stages, 1) the process of recognition; 2) the development process (building-with), and 3) understanding (awareness) process. Level 3 and level 2 students can recognize the problem and determine the right strategy to solve the problem, level 3 and level 2 students are also able to execute the strategy and interpret the results of the calculations they have done. The difference in level 3 and level 2 students lies in the understanding the concepts they have. Level 1 students can recognize problems and determine solution strategies. Although level 1 students can recognize and do calculations well, level 1 students fail in interpreting the results of calculations performed. While students who are level 0 are not able to recognize the problem, so level 0 students do not carry out the justification process.

In solving problems, students often experience thinking errors, one of which is pseudo thinking. Pseudo thinking is errors of thinking, wherein the individual process of solving a problem it is not the result of real thinking. Mistakes of thinking like this need attention and must be immediately addressed so as not to impact on students' understanding of the next mathematical concept. This study is a descriptive exploratory with a qualitative approach, aims to describe and explore the pseudo thinking profile of high school students with different mathematical abilities. The subjects in this study consisted of, one with high mathematical ability, one with moderate mathematical ability, and one with low mathematical ability. Data collection techniques were carry out by giving mathematics ability tests (TKM) and interviews. Data analysis was perform based on pseudo-thinking indicators (pseudo-right thinking and pseudo-wrong thinking). It was found that, subjects with high mathematical ability tend to be able to experience pseudo-right thinking and pseudo-wrong thinking. Subjects with moderate mathematical ability tend to be able to experience pseudo-right thinking, while subjects with low mathematical ability tend to be able to experience pseudo-wrong thinking.aKeywords: thinking mistakes, pseudo thinking, problem-solving, mathematical ability
