Abstract
This study aimed to determine influence of using the PMRI approach to problem solving abilities of elementary school students in grade six. This research is an experimental research using technique used is saturated sampling. The media used in the PMRI approach in this study is transparent tape. Data collection technique in this study were tests and observations analyzed by looking for the average of the indicators of each student, normality test, homogenity test, and hypothesis testing using t-test see the effect of using the PMRI approach on students problem solving abilities. The result of the final analysis were using the t-test which obtained the results of t count > t table (12,354 > 2,261) with a significance level below 0,025 so it was concluded that the use of PMRi approach had a positive influence on students problem solving abilities.
