<![CDATA[Students' difficulties in solving flat geometric story problems are not only hampered by the mastery of formulas, but also by the low fighting spirit or Adversity Quotient (AQ) of students. Problems and Objectives This study aims to analyze and describe the mathematical problem-solving abilities of 3rd grade students of SDN Rejosari 02 in solving flat geometric story problems based on Polya stages reviewed from the Adversity Quotient (AQ) level, and to find out the differences in these abilities in the climber (high), camper (medium), and quitter (low) groups. The type of research used is qualitative. Data was collected through written tests, interviews, and documentation. Data sources were collected using purposive sampling techniques, involving teachers and 6 3rd grade students of SDN Rejosari 02 Semarang. The results of the study show: (1) Students in the Climber category fulfilled all Polya stage indicators (1, 2, 3, and 4) well. (2) Camper students undersote understood the problem and develop a plan (indicators 1 and 2), are quite capable of implementing the plan although they are less careful in calculating (indicator 3), end fulfilled the ability to double-check although they are less careful (indicator 4). (3) Quitter students understood the problem a plan (indicators 1 and 2), but were not yet able to carry out the plan correctly and do not fulfill the ability to double-check the results of the answers (indicators 3 and 4). Teachers are advised to help students develop problem-solving skills more systematically. For students, it is hoped that they will become more accustomed to writing down their complete thought processes in solving problems.]]>
