Abstract

This study aims to analyze the errors made by fourth-grade students at SDN KARET 04 in solving word problems on mixed arithmetic operations using the Newman procedure. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with eight students as subjects, five of whom were selected using purposive sampling for interviews. Data collection was conducted through a written test consisting of five word problems and clinical interviews. The results showed that the errors made by students included: (1) comprehension errors, which are the inability to identify known and requested information; (2) transformation errors, which are the failure to convert word problems into mathematical models; (3) process skill errors, which are inaccuracies in arithmetic calculations; and (4) encoding errors, which are writing results that are out of context or without units. The most common types of errors made by students were errors at the comprehension and transformation stages of the problem. The factors causing these errors were a lack of understanding of the concept of mixed arithmetic operations, inaccuracies, and low mathematical literacy skills in interpreting word problems.
