Abstract
The objectives of this study were to discover: (1) the differences of problem solving ability enhancement between students taught by applying realistic mathematical learning approach and Inquiry approach, (2) the interaction between learning approach (PMR and Inquiry) with the capability of beginning math students towards students’ problem solving ability enhancement, (3) the troubleshooting process of students’ problem solving between students taught by applying realistic mathematical learning approach and Inquiry approach. This study is a quasi experiment research. The population of this study consist of all students in grade VIII SMP Negeri 2 Tanjung Morawa. The sample of this study was 2 classes consist of 66 sudents taken by using cluster random sampling technique. The data was analyzed by using anova two lanes. It is found that (1) there is a difference of students problem solving enhancement between students taught by applying realistic mathematical learning approach and Inquiry approach, (2) there is an interaction between learning approach (PMR and Inquiry) with the capability of beginning math students towards students’ problem solving ability enhancement, (3) a description discussion about the troubleshooting process of students problem solving students taught by applying realistic mathematical learning approach and Inquiry approach.

Summary
To Solve It (1973) menjadi rujukan utama dan pertama tentang berbagai pengembangan pembelajaran pemecahan masalah terutama masalah matematika. Menurut Polya (1973), solusi soal pemecahan masalah memuat empat langkah penyelesaian, yaitu : (1). Melaksanakan perencanaan penyelesaian masalah; dan (4) Melihat kembali penyelesaian pembelajaran matematika jika berhasil antara lain akan menghasilkan siswa yang memiliki kemampuan pemecahan masalah, kemampuan komunikasi, kemampuan penalaran, kemampuan pemahaman dan kemampuan yang lain dengan baik serta mampu memanfaatkan kegunanaan matematika dalam kehidupan. Kenyataannya kemampuan pemecahan masalah siswa masih jauh dari harapan. Berpendapat bahwa keterampilan menyelesaikan soal pemecahan masalah siswa sekolah menengah atas ataupun siswa sekolah menengah pertama masih rendah
