Smart and Fast Mathematics

Abstract

Problem solving is a cognitive action that is carried out by students by using the knowledge that has been possessed before to be able to solve problems. The purpose of implementing the PPM program is to overcome partner problems, namely the lack of students' ability to solve non-routine questions, such as national exam questions and the lack of students' ability to solve non-routine questions with smart solutions. The PPM activity was held on 20-21 October 2017 at MA Aittihad Alislami for class XII students. The method used in the PPM program provides training and mentoring. In training activities, students are asked to work on non-routine questions with smart solutions that contain smart ways. Mentoring is carried out so that students are accustomed to solving problems with intelligent solutions. With a smart solution, students can use their time effectively, so that all UN questions can be solved correctly. Smart solution does not only contain special tricks to solve the problem, stick to it smart solution also helps students to find alternative answers to the "correct" questions
