<![CDATA[This study was motivated by the difficulties experienced by students in solving division operations in mathematics learning. The study aimed to describe the types of students' learning difficulties, analyze the factors causing these difficulties, and describe the teacher's efforts to overcome them. This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive research method with a case study design. The research subjects consisted of seven students from Class III-B at Elentary school Mlajah 2 Bangkalan. Data were collected through observation, interviews, tests, and documentation, while data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that students experienced three types of difficulties in solving division operations, namely conceptual, procedural, and factual difficulties. Procedural difficulty was the most dominant type, indicated by the students' inability to write the solution steps completely and systematically. The factors contributing to these difficulties included insufficient mastery of basic multiplication and subtraction, limited understanding of division procedures, lack of concentration during learning, carelessness in calculations, and the students' unfamiliarity with writing systematic solution procedures. The teacher addressed these difficulties by providing direct guidance, re-explaining division procedures, giving gradual practice exercises, and using concrete objects and instructional media to help students understand the concept of division.]]>
