Abstract

Mathematical problem solving is indispensable in learning mathematics. Problem solving also requires very high intelligence, including the superior intelligence quotient (IQ) category. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to describe the mathematical problem solving of students in the superior IQ category.This study uses a qualitative approach with an exploratory descriptive type. The subjects in this study were students who had done an IQ test with a superior IQ. This study describe 2 subjects based on relatively similar tendencies. Data collection techniques used documentation studies on IQ, math problem solving, think aloud, and semi-structured interviews. Data analysis in this study refers to Polya's research on mathematical problem solving. The validity of the data in this study used triangulation techniques. The results of this study indicate that students with superior IQ are able to fulfill the stages of solving mathematical problems, namely understanding the problem, planning strategies, implementing plans, and evaluating.
