Abstract
1st-grade elementary school teachers must be able to quickly group children's thinking abilities before delving into deeper material, especially in mathematics. This research aims to assist teachers in grouping students based on their thinking abilities by providing open-ended questions. A qualitative descriptive method was used in this research by describing the analysis results of the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students' work documents. The analysis revealed three categories of student thinking abilities: low, medium, and high based on the types of approaches used by students. The approaches used by students are influenced by their experience in solving problems with various methods and not just one solution. Students are given the opportunity to express any method they understand in solving math problems and aim to improve students' open and developing thinking abilities.
