Student Semiotic Representation Skills in Solving Mathematics Problems

Representational transformation skills significantly influence students' success in problem-solving. Students who struggle with representational are often less adept at utilizing mathematical ideas and relationships, vice versa. Therefore, this study used a qualitative, descriptive-interpretive approach to examine semiotic representation when solving problems. The research was conducted Year 9 classroom public school Bandung, Indonesia, 30 participants divided into high, middle, low-ability groups based on their level of ability. Data collected using both test interview techniques. results indicated that students the high middle ability had adequate algebraic treatment conversion from algebra geometry verbal expression for constructing expressions converting statements equations. In contrast, group demonstrated lack These findings highlight importance problem-solving activities can be valuable information teachers observers mathematics education.
