Abstract
The focus of this study is to analyze the errors of students of different genders in solving story problems based on Newman's analysis stage. This research is a descriptive study using qualitative methods. The results showed that: 1)The form of errors made by male students in the high group were errors in understanding, processing skills errors and writing the final answer. In the middle group are errors in understanding and writing the final answer. The form of errors from female students in the middle group are errors in transformation, processing skills and writing the final answer, 3) The forms of errors from male students in the low group are skill errors, transformation and writing conclusions. Finally, the forms of errors for female students in the lower group are misunderstanding, transformation errors, process skills and writing errors in answers. Forget to write down the final conclusion, and didn't get the final conclusion right. It is recommended that teachers provide more math practice questions, especially with story questions in the form of problem solving to understand students' problem solving abilities and understanding.
