Abstract
The purposes of this research were to study the effect of learning implementation using mathematical modeling and gamification techniques towards mathematical problem-solving skills on graphs and linear relationship for students in grade-7. The research participants were 37 students in grade 7 classroom 1/1 at a provincial school for the second semester of the academic year 2021. The methodology of this research was classroom action research. The research instruments were three lesson plans, worksheets, and a mathematical problem-solving skill test. The data were analyzed by content analysis. The results revealed that most students developed in good level of mathematical problem-solving skills. When considering four subcomponents of problem solving, problem comprehension is the most developed, followed by mathematical modeling and answer verification and problem solving is the least developed.
