Abstract

The importance of mathematical problem solving skills in learning is students are able to analyze and solve problems mathematically in different situations. However, students’ ability to solve mathematical problem solving problems is still low. This research aims to analyze and describe problem solving abilities based on polya steps in terms of students’ initial mathematical abilities (IAM). The research method uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. The data instruments used were mathematical problem solving ability tests and interviews. The results of the research show that students with high IAM are able to understand the problems, but the devise a plan, carry out the plan steps and look back are still not accurate, while students at medium IAM and low IAM still make many mistakes in the steps of understanding the problem, devise a plan, carry out the plan and look back.
