For data collection, the instruments used are diagnostic test and interviews. The results showed that (1) Subject KF having facts difficulty relating to the inability to interpret the final results obtained; identify examples and non-example of the concept and an inability to assert concepts, inability to further identify the subject seen from an inability to answer correctly questions provided.

Subject KK also have difficulty in distinguishing geometrical geometrical prism and pyramid; (3) Subject KO having operating difficulty. This is evident from the subject mistake in conducting the operation. Subject KO wrong in doing operations related to the sequence of operations and how to solve equations using division; and (4) Subject KP having principle difficulty.
