This study purpose to determine the ability of students to use Polya’s step in solving mathematical problems through Problem Based Learning. This study used a quantitative approach with a total sample, as many as 26 students of 7th grade of Junior High School 2 Kusan Hulu student. Problem Based Learning activities held in four meetings and two tests. The test results were analyzed based on the Polya’s problem solving steps, calculated with the percentage in each step. The results showed that the ability of junior high school students to use Polya’s steps in solving mathematical problem through Problem Based Learning was: 1) ability to understand problems at 83.80%, 2) ability to plan problem solving at 71.42%, and 3) ability to do counting at 75.61%.

This study aims to determine the ability of solving mathematical problems of junior high school students in Kabupatan West Bandung with indicators of students' mathematical problem solving abilities that are used to identify known elements, questioned and adequacy of elements, selecting and implementing strategies to solve mathematical problems, interpret the results according to the initial problem , making a mathematical model of a situation or everyday problem, using mathematics meaningfully. This research was conducted to 31 students in one of Junior High School in Ngamprah Village, West Bandung Regency using qualitative descriptive method. Instruments used in the form of 5 items about students' mathematical problem solving abilities on the material quadrilateral and triangle with interviews to students. The conclusion of this research is the ability of mathematical problem solving of junior high school students in Ngamprah Village is still low.

This research aims to describe the mathematical problem solving skills of junior high school students in relationship materials and functions with Polya strategy. The method used in research is a qualitative descriptive method. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 35 Palembang with a class XI.6 research sample of 30 people. The research subjects were taken by 6 students, who were grouped into three categories, namely high, medium and low who were taken 2 people each from each category.. The data collection techniques in this study are tests, interviews and documentation. The results of the data obtained are then analyzed using data reduction analysis techniques, data presentation and verification. So the results of the study show that: 1) students who have high category problem solving skills are able to carry out all stages of problem solving, 2) students who have problem solving skills category are able to carry out the problem solving stages of the problem, but at the stage of carrying out planning and problem solving students make mistakes in operation and are not able to perform the stage of planning the answer correctly, 3) students who have low category problem solving skills are only able to carry out one stage that is understanding the problem and not being able to carry out the stage of planning the solving strategy planning and troubleshooting and re-examining the answers obtained correctly.

One of the cognitive skills that students must have is problem-solving ability. Therefore, a standardized test is needed to measure this ability. However, until now, the tests used to measure mathematical problem-solving ability were not standardized. This research aims to develop a valid and practical mathematical problem-solving test in the discussion of triangles and rectangles. This research is part of the R&D 4D type with steps: Defined (analysis to develop a test), Design (designing a problem-solving test form), and Develop (expert judgment and small group trials). The instrument in this research was the validation sheet used by the validator to assess each test item. The data analysis technique used the Aiken method for expert judgment and qualitative descriptive for development testing. The result is a valid and practical mathematical problem-solving test because the V-Aiken value is more than 0.532. Based on this, the instrument can be used to measure the mathematical problem-solving ability of junior high school students in the discussion of triangles and rectangles.
