Abstract

This study is aimed to describe the ability of ASD students in completing basic mathematics operations (BMO), especially operations of addition and subtraction. The research subjects are 21 elementary school students with ASD. The instruments used are divided into five levels of skill areas. It is found that most of students with ASD are only able to recognize the concept of number up to two digits, able to count a set of images of concrete objects, only able to do addition up to the addition of two-digit number with one-digit number, only able to subtract one digit number with one-digit number. Students with ASD are mostly unable to complete addition and subtraction in the form of an open-ended question even though it is in form of an addition of one digit numbers. Most students with ASD are unable to finish word problems of addition and subtraction too. The method used in finishing operations of addition and subtraction is same with the method taught by their teacher, this is because students with ASD have stereotype behavior (imitate).
