KEMAMPUAN PENALARAN MATEMATIS SISWA PADA MATERI SISTEM PERSAMAAN LINEAR DUA VARIABEL KELAS X SMA

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal yang disajikan dalam bentuk cerita, gambar dan simbol pada materi sistem persamaan linear dua variabel kelas X di SMA Negeri 7 Pontianak. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif dengan bentuk penelitian survei. Sampel penelitian ini adalah 33 orang siswa. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal cerita hanya mencapai 27,27%; kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal gambar mencapai 69,7% dan kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa dalam menyelesaikan soal simbol hanya mencapai 18,18%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan penalaran matematis siswa pada materi sistem persamaan linear dua variabelhanya mencapai 56% dari 33 orang siswa sehingga kemampuan siswa dalam bernalar masih kurang baik.
