This study aims to describe mathematical resilience on slow learner students in solving problems. According to the previous research, there is no research focused on the subject of slow learners. The research method is a qualitative descriptive approach. The total population of this study was 71 students with special needs, which consisted of 51 male students and 20 female students. The selection of subjects in this study was reviewed based on three levels of mathematical resilience, namely high, medium, and low. The process of selecting this subject uses the Wright Maps table on Winsteps application version 3.73. Selected subjects were given instruments and interviews to analyze their mathematical problem-solving. The results showed that mathematical resilience on slow learner students was directly proportional to solving mathematical problems for subjects with high mathematical resilience. Meanwhile, subjects with medium and low mathematical resilience were inversely proportional to solving mathematical problems. The stages of solving the problem of the slow learners were incomplete because they have not passed one of the stages formulated by Polya. Therefore, based on the results of this research analysis, teachers can pay more attention to the slow-learners learning strategies in solving problems.

The emphasis of mathematics learning, especially students' communication skills, needs to be considered from gender equality in solving mathematical problems. This study aims to describe: 1) the potential mathematical communication skills of students based on gender; 2) gender equality in communicating mathematical problem solving; and 3) the suitability of the form of the model or the applied form to develop students' mathematical communication skills based on gender at school. This research is a descriptive qualitative research conducted on all junior high school students in Langsa with a purposive sampling technique of 283 students. The data were collected through mathematical communication skills and questionnaire tests which were analyzed descriptively using the concept of Miles and Huberman. The results showed that: 1) mathematical communication skills of female students were better than male students in solving mathematical problems; 2) mathematical communication skills of male students are better in suburban schools and female students are better in downtown schools; and 3) learning implementation plans are still limited in emphasizing mathematical communication skills and learning tends to be cooperative and individual. It is recommended that learning plans refer to developing mathematical communication skills that pay attention to students' gender equality in order to optimize mathematical problem solving.

Artikel mengkaji strategi pembelajaran self-regulation dalam mengembangkan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika. Self-regulation merupakan sebuah proses belajar individu melalui faktor lingkungan (environment), faktor pribadi (person) dan faktor perilaku (behavior). Komponen kemampuan self-regulation terdiri atas komponen kognitif, motivasi dan metakognisi. Pada kegiatan pembelajaran khususnya pada mata pelajaran matematika, peserta didik harus mempelajari kemampuan berpikir kritis dan kemampuan memecahkan masalah dari fakta-fakta yang sudah ada (learn by doing). Strategi pembelajaran self-regulation adalah suatu strategi pembelajaran yang memberikan keleluasaan kepada peserta didik untuk mengelola secara efektif pembelajarnya sendiri dalam berbagai cara sehingga mencapai hasil belajar yang optimal. Penerapan strategi pembelajaran self-regulation terhadap peserta didik, akan memberikan dampak pada pengembangan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematika. Peserta didik yang memiliki self-regulation, akan memiliki motivasi yang lebih besar dalam belajar dan memecahkan masalah matematika. This article examines self-regulation learning strategies in developing mathematical problem-solving abilities. Self-regulation is an individual learning process through environmental factors, personal factors and behavioral factors. The component of self-regulation ability consists of cognitive, motivation and metacognition components. In learning activities, especially in mathematics, students must learn the ability to think critically and the ability to solve problems from the facts that already exist (learn by doing). Self-regulation learning strategy is a learning strategy that gives students the freedom to effectively manage their own learners in various ways so as to achieve optimal learning outcomes. The application of self-regulation learning strategies to students will have an impact on the development of mathematical problem solving abilities. Students who have self-regulation, will have greater motivation in learning and solving mathematical problems.

AbstractResearch on mathematical problem solving has a long tradition: retracing its fascinating story sheds light on its intricacies and, therefore, on its needs. When we analyze this impressive literature, a critical issue emerges clearly, namely, the presence of words and expressions having many and sometimes opposite meanings. Significant examples are the terms ‘realistic’ and ‘modeling’ associated with word problems in school. Understanding how these terms are used is important in research, because this issue relates to the design of several studies and to the interpretation of a large number of phenomena, such as the well-known phenomenon of students’ suspension of sense making when they solve mathematical problems. In order to deepen our understanding of this phenomenon, we describe a large empirical and qualitative study focused on the effects of variations in the presentation (text, picture, format) of word problems on students’ approaches to these problems. The results of our study show that the phenomenon of suspension of sense making is more precisely a phenomenon of activation of alternative kinds of sense making: the different kinds of active sense making appear to be strongly affected by the presentation of the word problem.
