The purpose of this article is to discuss student perception of mathematical problem solving. Findings from five studies measuring attitude toward mathematics, perception of performance, perception of the importance of mathematical problem solving, and perception of problem difficulty are presented and discussed. Additionally, the interaction of affect and cognition and the implications of this interaction for assessing and teaching mathematical problem solving to students with learning disabilities are discussed.

This study aims to develop a mathematics handout based on local wisdom nuanced to increase the mathematical problem-solving skill of the Secondary students. This research is motivated by the student’s ability to solve the social arithmetic problem. This study used four phases of developmental research such as Investigation, Design, Realization, and Test, Evaluation, and Revision. The characteristics of local wisdom were acquired within the design or context in the mathematics handout to develop secondary students problem-solving skills. The results show that the students do the stages of problem-solving by Polya, get the maximum score and show students’ positive responses in the questionnaire given. Therefore, it met the proper handout criteria such as valid, practice, and effective. In the future studies, we encouraged to develop learning materials which have a guide to do phases of problem-solving and apply the way to solve some problems in mathematics.

El desarrollo de la resolución de problemas en el aula presenta múltiples facetas, una de las cuales se refiere a la evaluación y particularmente al uso de instrumentos evaluativos que contribuyan a la mejora del aprendizaje y que sirvan al propio resolutor para reflexionar sobre sus producciones y su manera de proceder. En este artículo se muestra como el uso de una base de orientación para la resolución de problemas puede constituir efectivamente una ayuda cuando los alumnos resuelven problemas. En particular se analiza la relación entre el número de acciones de la base de orientación que cada uno de los alumnos ha tomado en consideración al resolver un problema y sus soluciones al problema. La existencia de dicha relación permite considerar la base de orientación como un andamiaje educativo para la resolución de problemas. Problem solving classroom practices have multiple facets. One of them is related to the evaluation and, consequently, the use of evaluation devices that enhance students’ learning as they help the students to reflect on their own outcomes. In this article we analyse the use of an orientation basis as a device to support first year secondary students’ mathematical problem solving. In particular, we study the relation between the number of actions of the orientation basis in which the students were involved when they solved a problem and their solutions to the problem. The emerging existence of this relationship allows us to consider the orientation basis as a problem-solving-related form of selfscaffolding.

Like the human body, problem solving is the heart of mathematics. Problem solving ability is a capital for students to develop and explore themselves further in mathematics learning. This article aim to explain the development of students' mathematical problem solving abilities through Habit of Thinking Interdependently (HTI). This type of research is literature review where the authors analyze and draw conclusions from several relevant references related to HTI. HTI the attitude of students towards learning mathematics in the form of the habit of thinking together in groups. The conclusions obtained indicate that students' mathematical problem solving abilities can be developed through HTI.
