Abstract

This research aims to 1) Describe the problemsolving difficulties of solving story problems in terms of Polya's theory on the operation material of small numbers of grade V students. 2) Knowing the factors that cause problem solving difficulties in solving story problems in terms of Polya's theory on the material for the operation of whole numbers of grade V students. This type of research is qualitative descriptive. Data collection techniques are observation, interviews, documentation, and data logging cards. The research instruments used data recording cards, observations and interviews. Data analysis uses data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion or verification.
