This study aims to analyze students' learning difficulties in solving mathematical story problems reviewed from the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students of SDN 117858 Teluk Binjai. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through tests, interviews, and documentation involving teachers and students. The results of the study indicate that the main difficulties faced by students in solving mathematical story problems are low understanding of mathematical concepts, difficulty in interpreting information from story problems, and lack of ability to convert verbal information into mathematical forms. In addition, psychological factors such as anxiety and low self-confidence also affect students' performance in solving problems. Based on learning outcomes, students with lower grades tend to have more difficulty in understanding problems and applying solving strategies. These findings indicate the need for deeper pedagogical interventions to improve students' understanding of mathematical concepts and mathematical literacy skills, as well as emotional support to reduce anxiety related to mathematics.
 
 

Pelaksanaan pendampingan belajar ini dilatarbelakangi karena adanya kesulitan pada sebagian siswa kelas V SDN 106194  dalam operasi perkalian 8 dan 9, oleh karena itu untuk mengatasi kesulitan tersebut adalah dengan menggunakan penerapan metode jarimatika. Kegiatan ini menggunakan metode ceramah disertai dengan memberikan tes kepada siswa. Hal tersebut dilakukan secara bertahap dan berkelanjutan sehingga siswa mampu memahami konsep perkalian dan dapat menggunakan jarinya untuk menghitung perkalian  8 dan 9, dari kegiatan yang sudah dilaksanakan selama 3 hari secara terus-menerus dari 11 siswa ada 9 orang siswa yang sudah mampu menerapkan jarimatika, dengan kata lain 82% siswa sudah paham cara menggunakan jarimatika untuk menghitung perkalian bilangan 8 dan 9.Kata Kunci: Pendampingan belajar, Perkalian, Jarimatika.

This study aims to determine the effect of learning using problem-based learning strategies on student learning outcomes on environmental change material at Teladan Batu Bara Madrasah Aliyah. This research is a type of quantitative research with a quasi-experimental design selected by Nonequavalent pretest posttest control group design. The research population was class X IPA Madrasah Akiyah Exemplary and the sample of this study was Class X IPA 1 with a total of 35 students as the experimental class, and X IPA 2 with a total of 35 students as the control class. The instrument in this study was in the form of a test in the form of multiple choice questions of 30 items. Data analysis of student learning outcomes using the t-test formula, also with the help of SPSS version 25 data processing. Data analysis of student learning outcomes with the results of calculating the relative learning outcomes shows that the experimental class using problem-based learning strategies is higher than the control class. The prerequisite test proved that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The results of simple linear regression test calculations show sig < 0.005, 0.000 problems < 0.05, this means that there is an influence from the problem- based learning system on student learning outcomes. The conclusions in this study explain that there is an effect of using problem-based learning strategies on student learning outcomes.
