Mathematical thinking process based on student IQ test results and talented mathematical

Abstract

This study aims to determine how the students’ mathematical thinking processes are evaluated from the IQ test results and mathematical giftedness. Each student has his level of intelligence and talent in learning science, including mathematics. Until now, mathematics is considered a difficult subject to learn, including at the Elementary School level. However, there are elementary school students who have more advantages and have the talent to study and solve mathematical problems. The purpose of this research is to find out how the mathematical thinking ability of gifted elementary school students and how the type or model of the thinking process of gifted students in terms of the results of the IQ test, the Mathematical Gifted test. This research was conducted on elementary school students in the city of Tasikmalaya, who had been taken by purposive sampling to obtain 15 students who were used as research samples. IQ test results were obtained by 2 people belonging to the gifted category, and 13 people belonging to the superior category. The mathematical thinking process of two people who are classified as gifted fulfilled the indicators of representation, generalization, abstraction, and mathematical creativity.
