This research is driven by the low level of problem solving ability of 8th grade students of SMPN 2 Lengayang. This study aims to determine the problem-solving ability of mathematics students taught by matrix Missouri mathematics project with a strategy of Think-Talk-Write better than students who use the scientific approach. This research is a quasy experiment research. The population of this research is all students of class VIII SMPN 2 Lengayang, and sampel is this research class VIII.A and class VIII.E. Based on the results of this study obtained the average value of mathematical problem-solving skills of learners who were taught by MMP method with TTW strategy is 76 and the usual learning is 68. After hypothesis testing using t-test, known ttable = 1,64 and tcount = 2,23 with 95% confidence level, this means that this indicates that the accepted hypothesis means the ability to solve mathematical problems of students with MMP with scientific approach.Keyword : Mathematical Problem Solving Skills, Learning Model Type Missouri mathematics project (MMP), and strategy of Think-Talk-Write (TTW)

The ability to solve mathematical problems related to purchasing and personal finance is important in promoting skill generalization and increasing independence for individuals with moderate intellectual disabilities (IDs). Using a multiple probe across participant design, this study investigated the effects of modified schema-based instruction (MSBI) on personal finance problem solving skills, purchasing an item on sale or leaving a tip, and using a calculator or iDevice (i.e., iPhone or iPad) for three middle school students diagnosed with a moderate ID. The results showed a functional relation between MSBI using a calculator on the participant’s ability to solve addition and subtraction personal finance word problems and generalize to iDevices. The findings of this study provide several implications for practice and offer suggestions for future research.

<p>This study aims to investigate the ability of pre-service class teacher at University of Petrain solving mathematical problems using Polya’s Techniques, their level of problem solving skills in daily-life issues. The study also investigates the correlation between their ability to solve mathematical problems and their level of problem solving skills in daily-life issues. The study sample consisted of 65 female students majoring in class teacher. Data were collected using two questionnaires: the mathematical problem solving test which was developed by the researchers and daily life problem solving scale which was developed by (Hamdi, 1998). The findings indicate that students had high level skills in solving daily problems; there are no statistically significant differences in daily problem solving in relation to their academic year or high-school stream. Conversely, the findings also indicate weaknesses in students’ skills in solving mathematical problems, with no statistically significant differences among students in solving mathematical problems according to Polya’s problem solving steps. However, there were statistically significant differences in students’ performance in solving mathematical problems in relation to the mathematical topic, and in favor of measurements and algebra; in addition to statistically significant differences in students’ ability to solve mathematical problems in relation to academic year and high-school stream, but no correlation between students’ abilities in solving mathematical problems and those in solving daily problems.</p>

This research aimed to develop local instruction theory that is valid, practical, and effective to help elementary school students developing their mathematical problem-solving skills. Therefore a sequential activityis design on dailybasis to encourage students to develop their ability to solve mathematical problems, especially on the topic division. To achieve the goal, realistic mathematics approach was implemented to grade three elementary students in the learning process. The designed activities were validated by experts on the aspects of mathematical contents, language, didactical process based on realistic mathematical approach. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and parametric statistics. The validation results show that the local instruction theory was valid, and the implementation shows that the local instruction theory is practical and effective in improving students' mathematical problem-solving skills.

In this study, 53 middle school teachers and 28 prospective secondary school teachers worked either individually or in pairs to pose mathematical problems associated with a reasonably complex task setting, before and during or after attempting to solve a problem within that task setting. Written responses were examined to determine the kinds of problems posed in this task setting, to make inferences about cognitive processes used to generate the problems, and to examine differences between problems posed prior to solving the problem and those posed during or after solving. Although some responses were ill-posed or poorly stated problems, subjects generated a large number of reasonable problems during both problem-posing phases, thereby suggesting that these teachers and prospective teachers had some personal capacity for mathematical problem posing. Subjects posed problems using both affirming and negating processes; that is, not only by generating goal statements while keeping problem constraints fixed but also by manipulating the task's implicit assumptions and initial conditions. A sizable portion of the posed problems were produced in clusters of related problems, thereby suggesting systematic problem generation. Subjects posed more problems before problem solving than during or after problem solving, and they tended to shift the focus of their posing between posing phases based at least in part on the intervening problem-solving experience. Moreover, the posed problems were not always ones that subjects could solve, nor were they always problems with “nice” mathematical solutions.

<p class="JRPMAbstractBody">This study aims to describe mathematical anxiety in solving students' mathematical problems. This type of research is qualitative research with a case study method. The subjects in this study consisted of 1 student who had a high level of anxiety. The technique of taking the subject is by using a purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques using questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The instruments used were mathematical anxiety questionnaires, tests of mathematical problem-solving abilities, and interviews. The result shows that the subject has difficulty solving mathematical problems. It shows that the subject with high anxiety is not optimal in solving mathematical problem-solving problems. Thus, students with high anxiety need specific treatments or require the application of fun learning to optimize their mathematical problem-solving abilities</p>

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 on Education in Indonesia affects school activities rapidly. Teachers are no longer educated in classrooms only, but they can also utilize technology to conduct distance learning. One interactive application that can be used as a form of question exercise is Quizizz. Therefore, this research aims to: first, examine the effectiveness of students' activities by using Quizizz on mathematical problem-solving skills; second, investigate the differences in the increase in students' ability to solve mathematical problems between the class with and without the Quizizz-aided learning method; third, describe the activities of students who used the Quizizz-aided drill learning method; and fourth, describe the students' responses in using Quizizz. The research was quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest non-equivalent control group design. The participants in this study are 67 of Grade10 students divided into experimental and control classes. Data collection techniques used were tests for students' mathematical problem-solving skills and questionnaires. The instruments were validated using Pearson correlation, while the reliability was tested using Cronbach's Alpha. Then, the N-gain test was used to analyze the data. The results showed that there was an effect on students’ learning activities by using Quizizz on their problem-solving skills. Besides, there was a difference in the improvement of problem-solving skills between the class with and without Quizizz-aided. Furthermore, students’ activities in three meetings have increased. Moreover, students provided a positive response in learning using Quizizz. Thus, it can be concluded that Quizizz is effective in improving mathematical problem-solving skills.
