The<br>research participants were 6 students of grade 9 on junior high school in Banyuwangi Regency, East Java, Indonesia, whose<br>determination is based on their level of mathematical ability. Question used as a research instrument was essay questions that must<br>be done based on Polya's four stages of mathematics problem solving. Participants were given the opportunity to do reflection on<br>what they had done. The researcher invited them for a discussion and guided them to fix the solution (scaffolding). The result<br>show that participants’ thinking process in problem solving before scaffolding there is happen imperfection in the stage of using<br>mathematic concept that have been studied previously. Generally, by giving various scaffolding based on the participants’ need,<br>participants’ thinking process improved and completed four stages of problem solving that were studied in this research.<br>Moreover, by giving this scaffolding, students' ability on mathematics problem solving improved.</p> ER -
