An Analysis of Students’ Difficulties in Solving Story Based Problems and Its Alternative Solutions

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the students’ difficulties of MTs Negeri Surakarta 1 in solving story based problems on the subject of Pythagoras along with its alternative solutions. This is a qualitative descriptive research. This study illustrates the difficulties of students in solving story based problemsof the subject of Pythagoras. Research subjects in this study is composed of three students of class IX with each capable of high, medium and low. The data collection was condducted using the test method and t… Show more

“…Besides, the subject slightly underst ood the learning content related to the topic. This statement is in line with Rachmawati (2017) and Widyastuti et al (2017) that low-ability students have difficulty creating mathematical modeling of a problem. Students do not use all given information, confuse in determining the problem-solving strategy, and are unable to perform mathematical procedures.…”

“…In addition, students' error in determining the mathematical model of a problem only proved that their transformation skills were still low. Rachmawati (2016), Jupri and Drijvers (2016) stated that one of the constraints the students experienced in solving mathematics is the difficulty in developing the mathematical model. This should be used as a reflection for math teachers to improve the forthcoming math teaching.…”
