The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between students' motivation to learn and their mathematical problem-solving abilities based on their gender. This study employs a quantitative method with a correlation survey approach to assess students' motivation and mathematical problem-solving abilities. It involves 73 students from Madrasah Tsanawiyah. The data analysis technique used in this study was the product-moment correlation test, which yielded a value of 0.001 for sig.(2-tailed). Means 0.001 0.05, Ha is accepted, and H0 is rejected based on male students. The value of sig. (2-tailed) is 0.003, meaning 0.003 0.05, Ha is accepted, and H0 is rejected based on female students. And the value of sig.(2-tailed) is 0.000, meaning 0.000 0.05 then Ha is accepted, and H0 is rejected. There is a significant positive correlation between learning motivation and mathematical problem-solving with a correlation coefficient value of 0.435 then the level of correlation between variables is a moderate correlation. The coefficient of determination test is (0.435)2 x 100% = 18.92%. This means that only 18.92% of the contribution of the independent variable, namely learning motivation, to the dependent variable, is the student's mathematics learning outcomes and other things influence 81.08%.

Problem solving must be developed and internalized in mathematics<br />learning, so students have problem solving skills that students can<br />transfer to their daily lives when facing problems or difficulties.<br />There is a mental attitude that affects a person's success to become a<br />successful problem solver, namely adversity quotient. This mental<br />attitude affects the mindset and emotions so it is not easy to give up<br />in solving problems. This study aims to measure the relationship<br />between adversity quotient and problem solving abilities of junior<br />high school students in mathematics learning. This research is a<br />correlation study. The population was students of SMPN 1 Padang<br />Panjang 2014/2015 academic year, while 32 samples were selected<br />by purposive sampling. The data was collected using an adversity<br />quotient scale and a mathematical problem solving ability test. Data<br />were analyzed by regression correlation techniques. The results of<br />data analysis showed a correlation coefficient between adversity<br />quotient variables with mathematical problem solving abilities of r =<br />0.756&gt; rtable (0.297), meaning that there was a significant positive<br />relationship between adversity quotient and mathematical problem<br />solving abilities. The coefficient of determination obtained is r2 =<br />0.572 indicating that adversity quotient has an effect of 57.2% on<br />mathematical problem solving abilities of junior high school<br />students, while 42.8% is influenced by other factors

This is a case study investigating a primary teacher’s beliefs, knowledge, and teaching practice in mathematical problem solving. Data was collected through interview of one primary teacher regarding his beliefs on the nature of mathematics, mathematics teaching, and mathematics learning as well as knowledge about content and pedagogy of problem solving. His teaching practice was also observed which focused on the way he helped his students solve several different mathematics problems in class based on Polya’s problemsolving process: understand the problem, devising a plan, carrying out the plan, and looking back. Findings of this study point out that while the teacher’s beliefs, which are closely related to his problem solving view, are consistent with his knowledge of problem solving, there is a gap between such beliefs and knowledge around his teaching practice. The gap appeared primarily around the directive teaching which corresponds to instrumental view he held in most of Polya’s process during his teaching practice, which is not consistent with beliefs and knowledge he professed during the interview. Some possible causes related to several associate factors such as immediate classroom situation and teaching practice experience are discussed to explain such inconsistency. The results of this study are encouraging, however, further studies still need to be conducted.
