Abstract


Errors in solving mathematical problems often done by students. For see the types of errors that occur need to analyzed by Newman procedures. The purpose of this study to analyze the errors that occurred in the students in solving problems analogies using  procedure  Newman. Research using qualitative research methods and techniques of data collection using interviews. Subjects of research were 148 high school students in West South Nusa, Indonesia. The instrument used in the research is problems analogies contains two problems: the source and the target. The students are required to have the ability to associate the problems encountered by the previous problem, because mathematical concepts are connected. Students in problem solving targets need to do something. Students will begin to read and understand the problem. Students will determine the exact formula for the problems to be tackled by linking the problems encountered with previous problems that they already know the solution. Furthermore, students perform arithmetic operations and get the solution of the problem. Students can make mistakes in solving problems. The results showed errors  types by  Newman procedures and additional errors from student carelessness. Newman procedure, can see the mistakes made by students in solving the problems analogies so as to provide an overview to the teachers to develop learning involving analogy problems as tasks/exercises and exams.
