Abstract

This study aims to obtain a description of students’ errors in solving trigonometry in class X Science Program 6 SMA Negeri 5 Palu based on mathematical ability. The errors in this study were divided into three according to Kastolan’s Errors theory, namely concept errors, procedural errors and technical errors. This research was conducted descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were 2 students, namely 1 student with high mathematical ability and 1 student with low mathematical ability.
