Analysis of Mathematics Problem Solving Ability Students Based on Mathematical Resilience and Gender

Abstract

The ability to solve mathematical problems is an important thing that must be possessed by students. The fact is that students' mathematical problem-solving abilities are still low, one of the reasons for this is low mathematic resistance. This research is a qualitative research that aims to describe students' mathematical problem solving abilities in terms of mathematical resilience and gender. This study used a purposive sampling technique with 6 research subjects in class VIII SMP Negeri 5 Tanjung Jabung Timur based on 3 categories of mathematical resilience and gender. The instrument used is a mathematical resilience questionnaire, problem solving ability test questions and a list of interviews. The results of the research analysis showed that RMTP subjects had good abilities in solving the problems given.
