Abstract

Objectives. This study aims to analyze students' mathematical problem solving abilities in solving story problems at SD Yapis II Merauke.

Materials and Methods. The subjects of this study were the homeroom teacher and all 40 students of class VA at SD Yapis II Merauke.

Results. Based on data analysis and interviews, the results of the study showed that students in the "high" category were able to complete each problem-solving indicator with few errors. Students in the "moderate" category were able to complete each indicator, but there were still shortcomings in determining the formula and concluding the answers. Students in the "low" category were only able to complete a few indicators and many did not complete the questions because they did not understand the questions and formulas used. This study found that 70% of fifth grade students of Yapis II Elementary School had low problem-solving skills. The indicator that students mastered the most was the stage of understanding the problem, namely writing down known and asked indicators with a percentage of 31.33 % .

Conclusions. This study found that 70% of fifth grade students at SD YAPIS II Merauke have low mathematical problem-solving abilities. Students with high abilities are able to solve problems with few errors, while students with medium and low abilities still experience difficulties. The most mastered indicator is understanding the problem, while the most difficult indicator is determining the strategy or formula to be used.
