Abstract

This study aims to describe the mathematical connection abilities of ninth-grade junior high school students in solving story problems on probability. The aspects examined include connections among mathematical concepts, links to other disciplines, and relevance to daily life. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied to 22 students at a junior high school located in Tapung Hilir District. Data were collected through essay-based tests and semi-structured interviews, with three students selected to represent high, medium, and low levels of mathematical connection ability. Results showed that 9 students were categorized as high, 9 students as medium, and 4 students as low. Students in the high category demonstrated a strong conceptual understanding, although they lacked systematic problem-solving strategies. Medium-level students showed comprehension yet required guidance. Low-level students struggled to interpret story problems and relate them to probability concepts. These findings emphasize the need for contextual learning and structured practice to enhance students’ mathematical connection abilities.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the mathematical problem-solving abilities of seventh-grade junior high school students on the topic of integers. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, involving 36 students from a public junior high school in Kampar Regency. Data were collected through three specially designed written test items and semi-structured interviews to explore students' thinking processes. The results show that students’ abilities can be categorized into three levels: high (13.89%), moderate (69.44%), and low (16.67%). Students in the high category demonstrated systematic steps and critical reflection. Those in the moderate category generally understood the problems but often made mistakes in selecting and applying appropriate strategies and showed a lack of accuracy. Students in the low category struggled at almost every stage of problem-solving. Contributing factors include understanding of basic mathematical concepts, strategy selection, accuracy, and clarity of the problem statements. The study recommends the use of contextual and reflective learning approaches to enhance students' mathematical problem-solving skills.
