This research is a qualitative research. Data was collected by using the test method and the interview method. The research subjects were taken 6 people from 33 students of class VII-G, each of which consisted of 3 male students, 3 female students, who were then interviewed regarding errors made in working on the test sheet. The validity of the data was tested by using source triangulation technique. Based on the analysis of the research results, it is known that in solving problems with the Newman procedure, none of the research subjects made any type of reading error. In the male subject, they made mistakes at the stage of understanding the problem, transformation, completion process and writing the final answer.
