Abstract: The purpose of this study is to obtain a description of the effectiveness of problem-solving learning using Polya step can improve student’s ability to solve the story of surface area and volume of cube and beam in grade 5 of elementary school. The type of research is classroom action research. The design of this study refers to the Kemmis and Mc Taggart model. Based on the results of the research, that learning problem solving using Polya step can improve student’s ability to solve the problem of surface area and volume. The result of the research shows that the application of problem solving learning on surface material and cube and block volume can improve student’s ability in solving story problem. The increase is due to good teacher and student activity. The teacher has guided the students in understanding the problem, planning, carry out the planning and looking back at the results of the answers, so that, they can be known. Student learning outcomes have reached a classical completeness of 75.58% of student’s ability in solving the story problem in cycle 1 of 73.68% and cycle 2 of 81.57%. It was concluded that the application of problem-solving learning with Polya step can improve the student’s ability in solving the story problem.
