Whereas female students are not yet capable of aspects of visual representative and the written words. Students with low representative ability in terms of male gender have not been able to visual present images. Then, aspects of mathematical expressions and written words have not been able to make mathematical model and written words. (2) the difficulties experienced by male students in solving problems of representative ability experiencing difficulties in terms of principles, verbal aspects and procedural terms. While the female students experiences difficulties in terms of concepts, aspects of principles, aspects of verbal and procedural terms.
