This study aims to describe the types of errors, causes of errors, and solutions to minimize student errors in solving SPLDV story problems. The method used is a qualitative method. The subject selection technique uses purposive sampling. Data collection techniques through 3-item tests and interviews. Data analysis techniques use the Miles and Huberman data analysis model. The results of the study showed that students made reading errors, understanding errors, transformation errors, process skill errors, and errors in writing final answers in working on SPLDV story problems. The causes of students making errors include students being less careful, in a hurry, not used to reading things that are known and asked, not understanding, and being wrong. Solutions to minimize student errors include reading questions carefully, getting used to writing things that are known and asked in the questions, practicing various questions, mastering arithmetic operations, and rechecking answers before they are accepted.
