This research purpose to determine the ability of students<br />completing the form arithmetic word problem. This research<br />was conducted to analyze test results to students 6th grade<br />elementary school 067774 Medan. The sample selection is<br />done randomly. The data were analyzed using qualitatif<br />method. Wherever in neared is using content analysis.<br />Content analysis is intended to describe the ability of students<br />in solving problems in the form of verbal arithmetic.The<br />result showed that : the identification of the student answers<br />in solving arithmetic word problem from the aspect of<br />students ability to understand the context of language or<br />verbal problem, compile the relevant models, and draw<br />conclusions contextually still very low. After you know how<br />the student’s ability to solve arithmetic word problem form of<br />the fourth aspect of the student’s ability is still low, is<br />expected to allow the reader to take action to minimize<br />mistakes by students while solving the problems of verbal<br />arithmetic shaped so that ability can be improved.
