Students still have difficulty in solving contextual math problems. It is because students are not used to solving problems using diverse mathematical representations. The representation can make it easier for students to solve abstract math problems. This study aims to determine and identify the types of errors and factors made by students in mathematical representation ability test questions. This study's subjects were 20 students of class VIII-H at SMPN 1 Cugenang on the Surface Area of Cube and Cuboid. The method used is qualitative. The process of collecting data is observation, written test, interview. The results showed that the level of students' mathematical representation ability based on indicators: (1) was 41% on the indicator using visual representations to solve problems and make geometrical drawings to clarify problems and facilitate resolution, (2) by 64% on indicators of problem-solving by involving mathematical expressions, (3) 61% of indicators create problem situations based on data or representations given. Furthermore, based on the analysis of students' answers in tests on a matter of mathematical representation ability, students making mistakes that are data errors, using definitions or theorems, and technicalities. Factors causing students to make mistakes are forgetfulness, lack of accuracy, learning difficulties, family environment.

Penalaran adaptif merupakan salah satu keterampilan matematika yang perlu dikuasai siswa dalam pembelajaran di sekolah. Jika siswa memiliki penalaran adaptif yang baik, maka siswa lebih mudah dalam memecahkan masalah matematika. Dalam memecahkan masalah matematika, setiap siswa mempunyai respon yang berbeda-beda. Respon tersebut dinamakan Adversity Quotient (AQ). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penalaran adaptif siswa dalam memecahkan masalah matematika berdasarkan AQ. Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif dengan subjek penelitian sebanyak enam siswa. Metode pengumpulan data yang digunakan meliputi pemberian angket ARP (Adversity Response Profile) untuk mengelompokkan siswa berdasarkan tipe AQ, tes penalaran adaptif (TPA) untuk mengetahui penalaran adaptif siswa dalam memecahkan masalah matematika dan wawancara untuk memperoleh informasi yang lebih jelas terkait penalaran adaptif siswa. Adapun proses analisis data yang digunakan meliputi reduksi data, penyajian data dan  penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam memecahkan masalah matematika, siswa dengan AQ quitter hanya mampu memenuhi satu indikator penalaran adaptif yaitu menyusun dugaan. Siswa dengan AQ camper mampu memenuhi empat indikator penalaran adaptif yaitu menyusun dugaan, merencanakan dan menyelesaikan masalah matematika, menilai kebenaran jawaban dari suatu permasalahan serta memberikan jawaban dengan penarikan kesimpulan. Sedangkan siswa dengan AQ climber mampu memenuhi semua indikator penalaran adaptif, yaitu menyusun dugaan, merencanakan dan menyelesaikan masalah matematika, memberikan penjelasan terkait prosedur yang digunakan, menilai kebenaran jawaban dari suatu permasalahan serta memberikan jawaban dengan penarikan kesimpulan.     Mathematical problems that they must solve. This is because mathematical representation is a form of expression of ideas displayed by students in various forms in certain situations in an effort to find solutions to the problems faced. The lack of students' understanding of the questions given is most likely due to students who are not able to use mathematical representation correctly. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach that aims to describe the mathematical representation of junior high school students, especially students with high ability in solving math problems. The subject of this research is one of the eighth grade students of SMP 10 November Sidoarjo selected based on a mathematical ability test. The results of the data description show that in solving problems, students with high mathematical abilities tend to use visual representations, make mathematical equations or mathematical expressions, and answer problems by using written words or text with the results of solving problems mostly correct.

Abstrak Representasi matematis digunakan siswa ketika menghadapi soal matematika yang harus mereka selesaikan. Hal ini karena representasi matematis merupakan bentuk ungkapan ide yang ditampilkan siswa dalam bentuk yang beragam dalam situasi tertentu sebagai upaya menemukan solusi dari soal yang dihadapi. Rendahnya pemahaman siswa terhadap soal yang diberikan kemungkinan besar disebabkan oleh siswa yang tidak mampu menggunakan reprentasi matematis dengan benar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif yang bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan representasi matematis siswa SMP, khususnya siswa berkemampuan tinggi dalam menyelesaikan soal matematika. Subjek penelitian ini merupakan salah satu siswa kelas VIII SMP 10 Nopember Sidoarjo yang dipilih berdasarkan tes kemampuan matematis. Hasil deskripsi data menunjukkan bahwa dalam menyelesaikan soal, siswa berkemampuan matematika tinggi cenderung menggunakan representasi visual untuk menyelesaikan masalah, membuat persamaan matematis atau ekspresi matematis, serta menjawab permasalahan dengan menggunakan kata-kata atau teks tertulis dengan hasil penyelesaian soal sebagian besar benar.   Abstract Mathematical problems that they must solve.

Problem-solving ability is a characteristic of mathematical activities and a major ability in developing mathematical understanding. Mathematical problem-solving ability can be seen from several dimensions, one of which is cognitive style. Cognitive style is a unique way for each individual to acquire, process, store, use the information to respond to tasks or situations, and build knowledge. FD and FI cognitive styles are one type of cognitive style that are categorized by general ways of thinking, solving problems, learning, and dealing with other people so that they have a relationship with problem-solving abilities. The subjects in this study involved 72 students (around the age of 13-14 years), namely 33 students with FD cognitive style and 39 students with FI cognitive style. The problem-solving ability test instrument in this study was a mathematical problem-solving ability test that had been validated by experts and tested for reliability. The cognitive style test instrument is the Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) item developed by Witkin. The problem-solving ability of junior high school students with FI cognitive style is better than FD students even though the difference is not much different.
