Abstract


Mathematical problem solving ability is a mathematical skill that students must have in order to solve problems both in mathematical material, in other sciences and problems in everyday life. This research aims to determine whether there is an increase in mathematical problem solving abilities through the RME approach in students in class VIII.3 MTsN 1 Lhokseumawe City. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of classroom action research. The subjects of this research were 34 students in class VIII-3. Overall, it shows that there is an increase from cycle I activities to cycle II activities, namely 94% learning completeness, obtaining a completeness score of ≥ 75 (minimum completeness criteria or KKM). This number is sufficient for the research success level, namely ≥ 80% of students who obtain a score ≥ KKM. Teacher and student activities have reached a success rate of 94% for teacher activities and 93% for student activities. Both of these activities are in the very good category. So it can be that learning using the RME approach can improve the mathematical problem solving abilities of MTsN 1 Lhokseumawe City students.
