Abstract

The study aims to describe male and female high IQ students thinking of making mathematical connections. The qualitative-explorative research was conducted with two students of 12th grade who have high IQ. There were male and female students. The data was collected through interviews and analyzed by data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification. The results of this research are that a male high IQ student did processing of thinking consist of some steps. First, he accepted information by reading mathematical problems, doing attention and rehearsal, then recall and recognition some information on mathematical concepts. He manipulated the information by making the connection between mathematical concepts and principles in solving the mathematical problem. He created six different ways to find the solution. The six ways were Pythagoras Theorem (first way), tangent rules, sinus rules, Pythagoras Theorem (second way), wide triangle, and scale. A female high IQ student actually made connections relatively similar to the male student. She could use similar steps but she created five different ways to find the solutions. The five ways were sinus rules, Pythagoras Theorem, tangent rules, triangular area, and scale. The male and female students are also different in recalling information at the time-solving problems using Pythagoras Theorem and triangular area.
