This study focused on problem solving performance in mathematics of 1st year high school student and Metro-Dagupan Colleges, Mangaldan, Pangasinan.
The researcher chose to study the solving problem performance of 1st year high school because the researcher noticed that very few among the student understand word problems.
On researcher experience, he has seen a lot of students answering problems without further reading and analyzing of what they have red. It is too disappointing because in order for them to understand the problem, teacher needs to make several samples and explanations or even in Tagalog explanation.
