Increasing HOTS and student belief towards mathematics through learning with a roleplaying method

Belief in mathematics attitude of students towards mathematics, where students can give a positive or negative response to mathematics learning activities. Students are given math problems and when completing them, they will think first, then when finishing them, students are expected to be sure of the answers and the concepts they use are correct. When students experience difficulties in solving problems, negative beliefs appear in students because they feel unsure of the right answer. To help students so that confidence in mathematics (belief in math) becomes better, it is necessary to have an interesting learning method for students, named role-playing. The method of role-playing is a learning method that prioritizes the role of students in the classroom, the teacher just gives the material without giving an explanation, and the rest of the students will deliver the material in a different way so that other students understand. Submission of different material uses a role-playing or role-playing game, where students will play in a social environment and deliver material through previous roles compiled by the teacher using a high order thinking skill (HOTS) system. So, students are free to deliver material in accordance with what they understand and can be connected in a coherent way.
