story problems, one of which is SPLTV material. This study uses a
qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Procedures for data
collection through tests, interviews, and documentation. The results
showed that the biggest difficulty experienced by students was difficulty
in performing mathematical procedures with a percentage of 74%. The
contributing factors are because students are less careful in carrying
