Learning strategies Primary Education The purpose of the present study was to identify the degree and nature of problems in Maths for the particular group of Year 3 pupils, especially the problem in solving skills in Mathematics. The data findings were analysed quantitatively and descriptively. As a result, data findings showed that the respondents were lacking in many Mathematics skills, especially in Mathematical problem solving storytelling where many failed the test. The problems that arise related to the Maths test given were indifferent attitudes in answering the questions, careless, not understanding the concept, lack of focus in understanding the needs of questions, and not able to understand and memorize the four basic skills of operations. The questionnaire results showed that their attitudes were generally positive though the test results indicated otherwise. The identification of mathematics skills needed is essential to respond to the difficulties in mathematical problem-solving. These efforts could help pupils to be motivated in positive thinking and trying to improve their skills in mathematics problem-solving. The understanding of the issue, knowledge, skills and commitment of teachers are the keys to ensure this group of pupils’ success in the future. 2014 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/92755/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/92755/1/92755.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA, Sarawak Faculty of Education
