Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine errors when solving problems related to significant figures. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The subject of this study was the odd semester student of Muhammadiyah University of Jakarta mathematics education 2018/2019 academic year consisting of 3 students. Data collection techniques used in this study are interviews, documentation and observation. The results showed that the percentage of concept errors in the three subjects was 38.09% while the operating error was 83.33%. Based on the results of the interview, the cause of the three subjects made a mistake, namely the lack of time in working on the questions, lack of thoroughness in working on the questions, lack of mastering the concepts and miscalculation.
