Abstract

This study aims to determine the extent to which high school students can master basic mathematics, especially fractions. This research was conducted at the Stabat Preparatory High School with a total of 40 students. This research was conducted using two methods, namely quantitative and qualitative methods. The quantitative method serves to measure the level of mastery of students' basic mathematical abilities in solving problems and the qualitative method aims to describe students' basic mathematical abilities and see how far students master basic mathematics in solving problems. Problems on fractional material given in essay form. Based on the answers of the students, the following proportions were obtained: the level category 1. The ability of students in the high category was 10%, namely 4 students, level 2. Level 2. The ability of students in the medium category was 25%, namely 10 students, and Level 3. The ability of students in the low category by 65% or 26 students. So it can be concluded that there are still many students' abilities that have not mastered the basics of mathematics.
