This research uses qualitative methods in the form of descriptive research with the data collection method used is a test to identify misconceptions that students may experience. The results of the analysis show that students still often experience misconceptions when solving problems related to geometric series operations.

The causes of misconceptions can generally be attributed to students, with several factors at play.
