Abstract

The aims of the study were to: (1) improve the students' understanding in solving mathematical case problems,  (2) improve the students'  achievement by problem-solving strategies according to the types of the mathematical case problems, and (3) know the process  of teaching-learning  about that teaching­ learning model. The research method used was classroom action research. The study consisted of two cycles.'Each cycle consisted of plan, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 32 students of the fifth  grade of the Public Elementary School of Kota Gede V Yogyakarta. The research instruments were a pretest, an achievement test, and an observation sheet. The qualitative data collected through observations and direct interviews were qualitatively analyzed and interpreted, whereas the quantitative data were quantitatively described. The result of thefirst cycle was not satisfactory; the mean score of the posttest  was only 61,5, whereas the mean score of the pretest  was 41. In the second  cycle,  the mean score  was 78,00, above  the stipulated  criteria.  The teaching-learning process ran as expected.   Keywords: mathematical  case problems,  problem  solving,  students'  achievement
