This study aims to identify and describe the types of interactions that arise in learning when students solve math problems through group discussion activities; whether each student in the group participates actively or not; whether the interaction occurred in the learning quality or not. A descriptive method with a qualitative approach was used in this research. The results of this research were: there were three types of interactions that appeared in the high group, i.e., S-S, S-G, and S-M; Two types of communications arising in the medium group, i.e., S-G and S-M; the types of interactions that appeared in the low groups are S-S and S-M. As a whole, not all students actively participated in learning activities taking place at thetime, in the high group there was one student who was not active, in the medium and low group each had four inactive students. The quality of the interactions that occurred when students completed math problems in a group discussion activity was still not qualified. In other words, the interaction that occurred during learning and when solving the problem in group discussion activities was an everyday interaction. © 2019 Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
