Abstract
This study aims to analyze the ability of deaf students to solve mathematical word problems on integer topics, particularly addition and subtraction operations. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach involving two deaf junior high school students from a special education school in Batu City. Data were collected through problem-solving ability tests, interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, which includes data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, and was further examined based on Polya’s four stages of problem solving. The findings revealed that deaf students experienced difficulties in the stages of understanding the problem and devising a plan, especially in interpreting word problems related to integer operations. However, during the stages of carrying out the plan and reviewing the solution, the students were able to perform calculations accurately. Therefore, mathematics instruction for deaf students should incorporate visual aids, simplified language explanations, and contextual word problem exercises to enhance students’ understanding in the early stages of problem solving.
