Numeracy Analysis Of Grade 5 Elementary School Students In Solving Polya-Based Math Story Problem

Abstract

The background of this research is based on the AKM in one of the elementary schools, the numeracy skills possessed by students are still relatively low. In fact, numeracy is one of the important abilities possessed by students. In solving math problems, numeracy literacy skills are needed. One of the forms of questions in the numeracy test is in the form of story problems. In solving story problems, there are stages of problem solving used, namely the stages of problem solving proposed by Polya. However, students' numeracy skills in solving story problems with Polya's stages are different. Thus, this study aims to describe the numeracy skills of 5th grade elementary school students in solving Polya-based math story problems. This research uses descriptive qualtative research methods. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, tests and interviews. Based on the results of the study, students with high numeracy ability can carry out 3 numeracy indicators and 4 stages of Polya well, students with medium numeracy ability can carry out 3 numeracy indicators and 4 stages of Polya with constraints, while students with low numeracy ability can carry out 2 numeracy indicators and 3 stages of Polya with constraints
