Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between the ability to understand mathematical text and the ability to solve basic math problems. Mathematical problems can be presented in two forms, namely in the form of verbal and in the form of numbers. The verbal question is packed through a narrative text stimulus. Failure to understand the contents of narrative texts causes chaos in understanding the essence of basic mathematical concepts. Basic mathematical concepts include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The interpretation of what basic mathematical concepts should be used is determined by the students' ability to understand the content of the text. In this case, students' reasoning ability plays a very important role. The ability to reason can be trained through reading learning. The data of this study were taken from the second graders of elementary school in Bandung. Using correlational method, there is evidence that both variables have positive correlation. This implies the importance of integrative learning implementation between reading and learning of mathematics in low grade elementary school.
