Abstract

The purpose of this study was to improve students' problem-solving abilities in mathematical story problems by using the CIRC learning model in class VIII A students of MTs Guppi Mekkatta in the 2023/2024 academic year, with the material of Relations and Functions and Straight Line Equations.
