Abstract

This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The subjects in this study were five women and five male students VII. The researcher uses the steps according to Soedjadi, (a) Read the questions carefully to capture the meaning of each sentence, (b) Separate and reveal what is known in the question, what is asked / asked in the question, what work operation is needed, (c) Make a mathematical model of the problem, (d) Complete the model according to mathematical rules, so that the answer to the model is obtained, and (e) Return the answer to the original answer. The results showed that female students had difficulty understanding the concept of fractions (equating the denominator), had difficulty in determining work operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and did not write the final conclusions while male students had difficulty understanding the problem so that it was not correct the final result and equate the denominator. The way to overcome the difficulty factors in mathematical storytelling is to provide training intensity, reinforce the concept of fractions in female students and improve students' mathematical communication.
