The results of this study indicated that on stage of understanding the problem, 8% of all students could understand every word of the problem but some students were wrong in writing what was known and asked from the problem. At the stage of planning the strategies of solving problems, 43% of all students could construct the solving plan for the question given. At the stage of implementing a plan, 33% of all students could finish all steps chosen to solve the problems systematically. In the last stage, i.e: checking the answers obtained, 16% of all students were able to check the answers back but some students were not able enough to check back the answers obtained.
