Abstract

Abstract. After conducting the result of interview and obervation, the researcher found that student’s mathematical performance is still not good. This study aims to describe student’s error according to Newman’s Error Analysis in solving word problem of geometry. This research used a qualitative approach with case study design and purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through diagnostic problem solving test and interview of fourth grade students in SDN 02 Gedongan. The results of this research showed that the most error made are in process skill and the fewest error made are in comprehension.
