| Abstract |
The main point for teaching mathematics is that the learner is truly learning by solving problems by themselves, not by memorizing rules or formulas. It is argued that the condition of order of operations (PEMDAS), is merely providing the learner with the sequence of steps (Wu, 2007). This contradicts Lampert (1986) and Merlin (2008), who think that the condition for the order of operations are very important in the context of mathematics and reflects the importance and depth of action. In addition, using the condition of PEMDAS is the foundation of mathematics, science, technology and programming. This study aimed to analyze students’ mathematical competence in order of operations. Thirteen items of the Suken test in level 6 was an instrument. The target group were 139 students. The data analysis consisted of students’ answer sheet, test item analysis and interview. The results showed that; 1) 17.80%of students had the ability to perform mathematical order of operations (PEMDAS). Based on the item analysis, it was found that students were able to correctly use the condition of PEMDAS. 2) 80.58% of students lack the ability to perform mathematical order of operations. Based on the item analysis, 47.48% of students were unable to correctly use the condition of PEMDAS. They performed operation from left to right regardless of the use of the condition of PEMDAS, and 33.10% of students were unable to solve the problem. |
