Abstract
According to Permendikbud no. 23 of 2016, the learning process in the 2013 curriculum focused on the interaction between students and educators and learning resources in a learning environment. One approach in mathematics learning that uses student interaction during the learning process is realistic mathematics educational approach. One step of realistic mathematics education is the step of solving problems. This research is qualitative-descriptive research with aims to describe the student-material-student interactions during solving problem in mathematics learning using realistic mathematics educational approach on the material of proportion. The subject of student-material-student interactions is a group that consisted of a high-achieving-student, a middle-achieving-student, and a low-achieving student. The data are gathered by using observation (observation paper, video recorder, and sound recorder). The result of this research showed that when solving problem occurs the interaction asking for help, giving help, and discussion of ideas, models, procedures, and problem-solving.
