Technique of collecting data used mathematics representation ability test, adversity response profile questionnaire, and interview. The findings showed that the students taught by SAVI achieved actual minimum passing grade with descriptions of representation mathematics skill on visual representation, mathematical expression representation, and written text representation seen from quitter, camper, and climber during SAVI learning, resulted to various results for each category of AQ.
