Many student believe that mathematics is difficult, which contributes to
their lack of ability to solve mathematical problems. Female students are more
worried than male ones when handling math problems. Pythagoras was the
material used in this study. The aim of the research was to describe mathematical
problem-solving skills viewed from gender among students in the special sport
class (KKO) at SMP Negeri 4 Purbalingga, with the research subjects of KKO
class VIII. In this study, three male students and three female students were
selected as repondents. Mathematical problem-solving skill test, interviews, and
documentation were employed to collect data for this study. The Miles and
Huberman model was used to analyze the data in this study, which included data
·reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. According to the findings of this
study, male students could understand and solve problems well, even if they were
less thorough. Female students could understand questions, develop strategies,
and solve problems well and carefully. The difference between male and female
students ' problem-solving abilities is that they are more focused on formulating
problem-solving strategies and counting accuracy.
