Abstract

The characteristics of the students is very diverse, one of which is intelligence. There are eight kinds of intelligence, namely 1) linguistic intelligence, 2) mathematical intelligence, 3) visual-spatial intelligence, 4) kinesthetic intelligence, 5) musical intelligence, 6) naturalist intelligence, 7) interpersonal intelligence, and 8) Intrapersonal intelligence. Based on the theory that Gardner has revealed, human intelligence is not single. So multiple intelligences of the students’ needs to be analyzed through the way of problem solving done by students. The aim of this research was to describe the multiple intelligences of elementary school students in solving mathematical problems. The object of this research is the students of grade V MI Hasanuddin Gedangan-Sidoarjo. The research was a qualitative descriptive research because of the data obtained is data in the form of descriptive sentences and visual images. Implementation of this research is done in 5 stages, that is initial phase include literature study and empiric study, test preparation phase, main stage giving question to student, data analysis phase, and reporting stage. From the research that has been conducted, it is known that the dominant multiple intelligences in the students influence the way students think in solving math problems.
