Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability Through Pictorial Riddle-Based Inquiry Model

Abstract

This study aims to determine the significant differences in students' mathematical problem-solving abilities using the Pictorial Riddle-based Inquiry learning model and conventional learning models. This type of research is quasi-experimental research. The population in this study were students of class XI IPS SMAN 4 Bengkulu City. The sample in the study was taken 2 classes randomly, namely class XI IPS 3 as the experimental class 1 and class XI IPS 5 as the control class. The mathematical problem-solving ability test obtained that there is a significant difference between the mathematical problem-solving abilities taught using the Pictorial Riddle-based Inquiry learning model and the conventional learning model. The inquiry learning model based on Pictorial Riddle provides an average result of mathematical problem-solving ability that is better than conventional learning models.
