Abstract

Linear program is a contextual material in learning mathematics. However, in fact there are still errors and difficulties identified in studies about mathematical abilities of students in linear programming problems. This study aims to conduct a literature review on mathematical abilities of students, errors and difficulties in linear program problems. The research method chosen in this study is the SLR (Systematic Literature Review) method. Data collection was carried out by documenting and reviewing all articles regarding mathematical abilities of students, errors and difficulties on linear program problems published in the 2016-2022 period. The articles used in this study were 40 accredited articles obtained from Google Scholar and Scopus. Based on this research, it was found that mathematical abilities of students to solve linear program problems was still low. Students still make many mistakes in drawing conclusions and encoding errors, and still have difficulties in understanding concepts, making mathematical models and performing correct mathematical procedures.
