However, only some of the students are capable of solving problems and some are having difficulties. The difficulties have caused students to make various kinds of errors. Hence, this study conducted is to identify and analyze students' errors in solving problems that involve HOTS in the topic of Fraction. The samples consisted of 96 Form One students of a secondary school in Johor. The instrument of the study consisted of a set of test questions that contained four HOTS questions. The errors were analyzed according to Newman's Error Analysis Model consisting of reading, comprehension, transformation, process skills and encoding. The results showed that students frequently made errors in encoding (27.58%), followed by process skills (27.33%), transformation (24.17%) and comprehension (20.92%). The findings showed that students faced problems to correlate the information and implementation of strategies used in solving mathematical problems involving HOTS.

Testing, grades, and pacing overshadow the essential role of creativity involved in doing mathematics. Talent development requires creative applications in the exploration of mathematics problems. Traditional teaching methods involving demonstration and practice using closed problems with predetermined answers insufficiently prepare students in mathematics. Students leave school with adequate computational skills but lack the ability to apply these skills in meaningful ways. Teaching mathematics without providing for creativity denies all students, especially gifted and talented students, the opportunity to appreciate the beauty of mathematics and fails to provide the gifted student an opportunity to fully develop his or her talents. In this article, a review of literature defines mathematical creativity, develops an understanding of the creative student of mathematics, and discusses the issues and implications for the teaching of mathematics.

Unfortunately, according to the latest national test results, most students lack mathematical problem solving skills. This proves to be one of the reasons why overall achievement in mathematics is considered quite low. It also reflects that students have difficulties in comprehending mathematical problems affecting the process of problem-solving. Therefore, in order to allow teachers to establish a proper teaching plan suitable for students' learning process, this research aims to analyze the difficulties in mathematical problem solving among elementary school students. Samples are divided into two groups, elementary school students and mathematics teachers. Data collection was conducted by structured interview, documentary analysis, and survey tests. Data analysis was conducted by descriptive statistics, and content analysis. The results suggest that there are several difficulties in problem solving, namely 1) Students have difficulties in understanding the keywords appearing in problems, thus cannot interpret them in mathematical sentences. 2) Students are unable to figure out what to assume and what information from the problem is necessary to solving it, 3) Whenever students do not understand the problem, they tend to guess the answer without any thinking process, 4) Students are impatient and do not like to read mathematical problems, and 5) Students do not like to read long problems. Therefore, the results found in this research will lead to the creation and the development of mathematical problem solving diagnostic tests for teachers, in order to improve students' mathematical problem solving skills.

This study was conducted … Students' learning of and performance in mathematics is affected by a number of factors, including students' attitude towards the subject, teachers instructional practices, and school environment. This study was conducted to investigate students' attitudes towards learning mathematics in Tanzania. It also sought to ascertain reasons for the liking or disliking mathematics and the relationship between attitude and performance. We employed the ABC Model and the Walberg's Theory of Productivity to investigate students' attitudes towards mathematics and associated factors. The quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 419 primary school students, 318 secondary school students, and 132 College students from 17 schools and 6 colleges in mainland Tanzania using a survey. The collected data were analysed using percentages, means, standard deviations, ANOVA, correlation, regression and thematic analysis. The results show that initially students exhibit a positive attitude towards mathematics, but their attitude becomes less positive as the students move forward to higher levels of education. A significant positive weak correlation between students' attitude and performance was established. Mathematics' enjoyment and attitude significantly predicted students' performance in our data. The factors influencing the students' liking or disliking of mathematics constituted student's aptitude attribute, instructional and social psychological environmental factors. Furthermore, the results show that failure in examinations is attributed to teacher didactic strategies, institutional resources, poor learning and examination strategies, and failure to understand instructions. The results provide insights for future research and inciting changes in teaching- learning practices that would promote mathematics enjoyment and subsequent better performance in the subject.

This is done as a way to reduce the transmission of the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia. There is an opinion that with the implementation of online learning, especially in mathematics education study programs, there are many obstacles when learning takes place. This study aims to determine the obstacles that arise after the implementation of online learning in mathematics learning in Higher Education. This research is a qualitative case study, assisted by an online survey. The researcher collected data through an online survey consisting of 27 questions. The survey is aimed at lecturers who teach in Mathematics Education study programs in Indonesia. The survey contains structured questions and leads to three parts, namely; basic skills challenges, teaching and learning challenges, and university challenges. The 27 questions contained questions about the ability of platform mastery to support online learning owned by each lecturer. The research involved 26 lecturers from universities in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. The results of this study reveal that all lecturers affected by the pandemic use a Learning Management System (LMS) based website as a means of online learning. The learning management system-based platform is the most widely used (google class and Edmodo) while video conferencing is the second choice (Zoom and Skype). What is interesting is that the LMS available on campus is less attractive to lecturers. However, there are obstacles faced such as the limitations of writing mathematical symbols and the limited basic capabilities of the learning management system and multimedia software to support online learning.

Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa di salah satu SMK di Kabupaten Garut. Pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara purposive sampling, dan diperoleh dua kelas sebagai sampel penelitian. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah tes kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis. Berdasarkan hasil analisis tersebut diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa: (1) peningkatan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran berbasis masalah lebih baik daripada siswa yang mendapat pembelajaran konvensional, (2) Kesalahan-kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh siswa ketika mengerjakan soal-soal yang berkaitan dengan kemampuan pemecahan masalah matematis adalah kesalahan karena kecerobohan atau kurang cermat, kesalahan mentransformasikan informasi, kesalahan keterampilan proses, dan kesalahan memahami soal. This research is motivated by the results of previous studies that showed that students' mathematical problem-solving ability is not as expected. One lesson to improve mathematical problem solving is based learning problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the increase in students' mathematical problem-solving ability as a result of problem-based learning. This study is a quasi-experimental study that applies two problem-based learning and conventional learning. The population in this study were students in one of the vocational schools in Garut. Sampling was done by purposive sampling and obtained two classes as the study sample. The research instrument used was a test of mathematical problem-solving abilities. Based on these results we concluded that: (1) the increase in students' mathematical problem-solving ability that gets problem-based learning better than students who received conventional learning, (2) mistakes made by student when working on the problems related to mathematical problem-solving ability was a mistake due to carelessness or less closely, transform fault information, error process skills, and misunderstanding question.

The study was carried out … The intention of this study was to clarify students’ difficulties in solving context-based mathematics tasks as used in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The study was carried out with 362 Indonesian ninth- and tenth-grade students. In the study we used 34 released PISA mathematics tasks including three task types: reproduction, connection, and reflection. Students’ difficulties were identified by using Newman’s error categories, which were connected to the modeling process described by Blum and Leiss and to the PISA stages of mathematization, including (1) comprehending a task, (2) transforming the task into a mathematical problem, (3) processing mathematical procedures, and (4) interpreting or encoding the solution in terms of the real situation. Our data analysis revealed that students made most mistakes in the first two stages of the solution process. Out of the total amount of errors 38% of them has to do with understanding the meaning of the context-based tasks. These comprehension errors particularly include the selection of relevant information. In transforming a context-based task into a mathematical problem 42% of the errors were made. Less errors were made in mathematical processing and encoding the answers. These types of errors formed respectively 17% and 3% of the total amount of errors. Our study also revealed a significant relation between the error types and the task types. In reproduction tasks, mostly comprehension errors (37%) and transformation errors (34%) were made. Also in connection tasks students made mostly comprehension errors (41%) and transformation errors (43%). However, in reflection tasks mostly transformation errors (66%) were made. Furthermore, we also found a relation between error types and student performance levels. Low performing students made a higher number of comprehension and transformation errors than high performing students. This finding indicates that low performing students might already get stuck in the early stages of the modeling process and are unable to arrive in the stage of carrying out mathematical procedures when solving a context-based task.

This study investigates the correlation between reading comprehension skills and arithmetic proficiency skills among intermediate pupils at Madatag Elementary School. Recognizing the interdependence of literacy and numeracy in academic performance, … This study investigates the correlation between reading comprehension skills and arithmetic proficiency skills among intermediate pupils at Madatag Elementary School. Recognizing the interdependence of literacy and numeracy in academic performance, the research aims to determine whether students' ability to understand written text significantly influences their performance in arithmetic tasks. Reading comprehension plays a pivotal role in students’ academic achievement across various disciplines, particularly in mathematics where understanding problem statements is essential for successful problem-solving. This study used a descriptive-correlational research design using Philippine Informal Reading Inventory [Phil IRI] and Assessment Tool in Numeracy [ATiN]. Weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson-r moment correlation coefficient were used. The majority of intermediate pupils at Madatag Elementary School are struggling with reading comprehension, as most of them fall within the frustration level of performance. Only a small number of learners demonstrated higher levels of comprehension, indicating a general difficulty in understanding reading texts. The wide range of scores among the pupils also highlights a significant variation in their reading abilities, suggesting that comprehension among the group are inconsistent and largely underdeveloped. The arithmetic proficiency levels of intermediate pupils at Madatag Elementary School vary significantly, with the majority falling under the "Developing" category, indicating a general need for improvement in arithmetic skills. A few pupils demonstrated high levels of proficiency, while some were identified at the "Beginning" level, showing substantial challenges. This variation highlights a performance gap among learners, with only a small group showing strong arithmetic skills and most requiring further instructional support to enhance their competence in basic mathematical operations. A very strong positive correlation (r=0.90, p<0.001) was found between the reading comprehension skills and arithmetic proficiency skills of the intermediate pupils at Madatag Elementary School. The results indicate that pupils who perform well in reading comprehension also tend to excel in arithmetic tasks. This suggests a close relationship between the two skill areas, highlighting how the ability to understand written information may influence mathematical performance, particularly in solving word problems. Based on the results, the study proposes targeted interventions that integrate reading strategies into mathematics instruction to enhance overall academic performance.

Nine … This action research aimed to improve the numeracy skills of selected Grade 4 learners at Famy Elementary School through the use of activity sheets as a remedial intervention tool. Nine learners who demonstrated low performance in Mathematics based on diagnostic and quarterly assessments were selected as participants. The intervention, titled Project MATHRESCUE (Mathematics Activity Tool for Helping and Remediating Elementary Students’ Competency and Understanding Effectively), involved the weekly administration of contextualized and scaffolded activity sheets aligned with the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). A pre-test and post-test were conducted to measure learners’ progress, and observational checklists and learner feedback were used to assess engagement and participation. The results showed a significant improvement in the learners’ average scores, increasing from 56% in the pre-test to 83% in the post-test. A paired t-test showed statistical significance (p < 0.05), indicating that the observed improvements were unlikely due to chance. Additionally, qualitative data indicated that learners became more confident, motivated, and actively engaged in Mathematics lessons. The findings suggest that the use of structured and learner-friendly activity sheets is an effective remedial strategy to enhance mathematical understanding and academic performance. However, the small sample size and absence of a control group limit the generalizability of findings. Future studies should consider larger samples and controlled designs to validate outcomes.

A total of 57 participants completed questionnaires and reading comprehension tests, followed by interviews with 5 selected respondents. The quantitative findings revealed that students generally held positive perceptions of morphological awareness, with mean scores ranging from 2.84 to 3.28, and demonstrated strong reading comprehension performance (M = 80.24, SD = 6.014). A Pearson correlation analysis showed a statistically significant but modest positive relationship between morphological awareness and reading comprehension (r = 0.293, p = 0.027), and the questionnaire used had acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.744). The qualitative results reinforced these findings by illustrating that students frequently used morphological strategies such as word decomposition and contextual guessing to make sense of unfamiliar words. Participants also expressed that these strategies enhanced their reading confidence and reduced reliance on dictionaries or translation tools. Furthermore, many students advocated for greater emphasis on morphological instruction in English reading classes, especially in academic settings. These results suggest that morphological awareness contributes meaningfully to EFL learners’ reading development and supports the integration of morphology-based strategies in language education curricula.

ITS promotes interdisciplinary learning, critical thinking, and student engagement by integrating various subjects and real-world applications. Despite their benefits, their implementation in Mathematics education remains underexplored. Findings indicate that Mathematics teachers frequently employ ITS, with thematic teaching fostering collaboration, content-based instruction utilizing diverse resources, and focused inquiry enhancing critical thinking. However, challenges such as insufficient professional development, time constraints, and difficulties aligning curriculum standards with interdisciplinary approaches persist. A weak negative correlation was found between ITS utilization and these challenges, suggesting that increased ITS use slightly mitigates difficulties but is not the primary determinant of challenges faced. The study recommends continuous professional development, improved resource allocation, and structured collaboration time to enhance ITS integration. Further research should explore ITS effects on student outcomes, including academic achievement and critical thinking, as well as the role of technology in supporting interdisciplinary learning and overcoming logistical barriers.

However, field observations show that students' ability … Mathematical representation ability is one of the essential and fundamental components that students need to express their mathematical ideas during the learning process. However, field observations show that students' ability to represent mathematical ideas is still relatively low, including those related to the topic of quadrilaterals. This condition is influenced by the diversity in students’ learning processes, one of which is caused by differences in learning styles. To investigate this issue, a study is needed to obtain a comprehensive description of students' forms of mathematical representation in solving quadrilateral problems, viewed from the perspective of their learning styles. The learning style used in this study is Honey and Mumford's learning style model. This study employed a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. The subjects of the study were three eighth-grade students from MTsN in Mataram City. The data collection techniques used in this study were questionnaires, tests, and interviews. The results showed that students with an activist learning style tend to experience difficulties in modeling their ideas geometrically when solving problems related to quadrilaterals. They were less able to model and interpret problems in detail. However, when faced with problems that involved representing their ideas to find solutions to real-life situations, in general, students with an activist learning style were able to find appropriate solutions.

Niño Central Elementary School through the implementation of the CUBES (Circle key words, Underline the question, Box the important numbers, Evaluate the problem, Solve the problem, and check the answer) method. The study addressed the common difficulties students face in solving mathematical word problems by introducing a structured and visual problem-solving approach. A total of 30 learners identified as having challenges in solving word problems participated in a nine-week intervention composed of interactive, guided, and independent activities grounded in the CUBES strategy. The procedure included three phases: a pre-test to assess baseline performance, implementation of the CUBES method through focused instruction and hands-on tasks, and a post-test to evaluate learning gains. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests to determine the effectiveness of the intervention. Results indicated that the average problem-solving score increased from 43.56% in the pre-test to 79.56% in the post-test, indicating substantial improvement in students’ performance. Moreover, a paired t-test revealed that this difference was statistically significant, t(29) = 12.0, p < .001, with a large effect size (Cohen’s d = 2.18). Qualitative insights from student interviews revealed that the CUBES method not only enhanced comprehension and accuracy but also reduced math anxiety, increased engagement, and fostered confidence. These findings suggest that the CUBES method is an effective and learner-friendly strategy for improving mathematical problem-solving skills in the elementary level.
