Student’s Mathematical Problem Solving Ability in the High Category Assisted with Animation Video Media

Abstract

This study aims to describe the ability of students to solve mathematical problems in the high category with the help of animated video media. This type of research is a qualitative descriptive research. The learning media used is Canva-based animated video media. The research subjects were class VII F students of SMP Negeri 3 Brebes Semester II for the 2022/2023 academic year. Taking the subject using random sampling from the test scores of written descriptions of mathematical problem solving ability. Data collection techniques in this study used tests, interviews, and documentation. According to Polya, the indicators of mathematical problem-solving ability are (1)understanding the problem (2)devising a plan (3)carrying out the plan, and (4)looking back. Based on the results of the study, it  shown that: high mathematical problem-solving ability fulfills 4 indicators of mathematical problem-solving ability, there are (1)understanding the problem (2)devising a plan (3)carrying out the plan, and (4)looking back.
