Abstract :
This paper discusses challenges faced by students in developing the ability to reason mathematically. This paper researches factors that cause difficulty and suggests potential solutions for increasing education in mathematics in Indonesia. Problem reasoning mathematics for students is sourced from various factors like emphasis system education in learning memorisation, limitations source power, and fear of failure. By promoting critical thinking skills, solving problems, and providing adequate support for students and lecturers, Indonesia can make an effort to increase the ability to reason mathematics among students and improve academic performance overall.
