Solving mathematical word problems is not easy for elementary school students. It needs three processes: understanding, making construction and overcoming the problems. Understanding the problem is the important thing in this case. Third-grade students of elementary schools do not understand mathematical word problems in mathematics perfectly. The appropriate learning method is needed to improve the students’ ability in understanding to solve the questions. Therefore, the objective of this study is to identify the role of the scheme learning method to improve students’ ability in solving mathematical word problems. Third-grade students of elementary school took the process of this research. The students were divided into two groups; experimental and control groups. This research would be carried out in three sessions. The measurement of the students’ ability in solving the mathematical word problems was conducted by giving the pre-test and post-test mathematics materials. Data analysis performed used anava mixed design to compare score of students’ abilities in solving the mathematical word problems between experimental and control groups. The result of this study indicates that there are differences in score of students’ abilities in solving the mathematical word problems in mathematics between experimental group and control group (p=0,039, p<0,05). Students who received scheme learning method increase their score more than control group. Applying this method can improve students’ ability in solving mathematical word problems.
