This study aims to determine the ability of mathematical problem solving before or after the application of the open-ended approach and student’s responses during learning. The techniques used in collecting data were interviews, questionnaire tests, and documentation. This type of research is quantitative with experimental design, statistical techniques are used to analyze the research results. The results of the study can be seen with the results of the pretest and posttest student’s abilities. The ability of students showed an average difference between the pretest and posttest scores of 36.71 and 80.81 and the Fcount was 122.927. So the conclusion is the problem solving ability of students has a significant difference and tends to increase. As well as a very positive response shown by students with a percentage of 84.3%.

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.

Introduction: Mathematical problem solving ability is very important in mathematic learning, because is can help students to solve daily life problems better. But the students mathematical problem solve ability is not high yet, one of the factor is because many students only know the standard procedures of solving mathematics problems, and when the given problem are different from the examples they tend to give up easily. This comparative design study aims to find out the improvement of students mathematical problem solving ability using Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) learning model with individual assignments and small group assignments, and to find out whether there are differences between those two. Method: The sample in this study was VII grade students at SMP Advent Cimindi and SMP Advent II Bandung, Bandung. The instruments used in the study are mathematical problem solving test and questionnaire for response toward the Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) learning model as the non-test instrument. Result: The results showed that the improvement of mathematical problem solving abilities of students who obtained the Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) learning model with individual assignments and students who obtained the Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) learning model by assigning small groups was categorized as high. Statistically, there is a significant difference in the students mathematical problem solving improvement after being taught using Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) learning model, between students who get individual assignments and small group assignments. The response questionnaire result shows that students who acquire individual assignments like the Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) learning model, more further the students who acquire group assignments really like the Missouri Mathematics Project (MMP) learning model.

I am always looking for children's literature to make and enrich connections to the elementary school curriculum. In particular, books and stories that use mathematical problem solving not only engage children in the narrative but also give them opportunities to see how mathematics is used in everyday life. A Cloak for the Dreamer by Aileen Friedman (1994) investigates relationships among shapes and, at the same time, tells a wonderful story.

This study aims to: 1) find out whether students' mathematical problem solving abilities that are taught with problem based learning are better than students who are taught by direct learning. 2) find out whether the mathematical problem solving ability of students who have high learning motivation is better than students who have low learning motivation. 3) find out whether there is an interaction between learning and student learning motivation towards students' mathematical problem solving abilities. This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a 2x2 factorial design. The study population was fifth grade students (five) in the odd semester of the 2017/2018 Academic Year at SDN 0407 Mondang which consisted of two classes with a sample of 50 students. The class used as the sample of the experimental group is class V A with 25 students and the control class is class V B with 25 students. Thus the sample selection is done by total sampling technique. Data was collected by student achievement test and student motivation instrument. The collected data was processed statistically using a two-way variance (anava) analysis technique with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that (1) There was an influence of problem-based learning methods on the mathematical problem solving ability of Class V students of SD Negeri 0407 Mondang 2017/2018 Academic Year; (2) There is an influence of student learning motivation on the mathematical problem solving ability of fifth grade students of SD Negeri 0407 Mondang for the Academic Year 2017/2018; and (3) There is an interaction between problem-based learning methods and students' motivation to the mathematical problem solving ability of students of Class V of SD Negeri 0407 Mondang 2017/2018 Academic Year. Practically, this study recommends that teachers use problem-based learning methods in mathematics learning and pay attention to the level of student motivation so that the learning design is adjusted to that motivation level. Theoretically, this study contributes to adding knowledge related to problem-based mathematics learning in elementary schools. Further studies can deepen studies related to the suitability of student characteristics with the selected learning method because these aspects are indicated as one of the key factors for student learning success.
