Abstract

Understandinggofmmathematical concepts is oneeofttheegoals of mathematics learning that musttbe managed and owned by each student. But in reality, from the results of observations and tests given, it can be seen that the student’s mathematical understanding concepts is still low. Theecontributing factors is learning that has not been fully able to facilitate students to be able to develop an understanding offmathematicallconcepts properly. Theelearninggmodel that can facilitatexstudents in understanding and constructingxtheir knowledge is the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) learninggmodel.
