This study aims to analyze problem solving skills and interest in learning mathematics in multiplication material for third grade students at MI Nurul Ulum Wonosari. According to the result of interviews, the problem-solving ability of students is still relatively low, because they still cannot understand and solve story problems correctly. In addition, in the learning process the teacher has explained the material well, but the teacher has not taught them how to count multiplication in a simple and efficient way. Based on these problems, researchers will conduct reseach with qualitative methods, namely reasearch that aims to analyze the conditions that occur in the field, using descriptive methods.
