Description	Journal: Journal of Physics: Conference Series Algebra is one of the mathematical sciences studied in junior high school. Some students may have difficulty learning algebra. This study aims to determine the difficulties experienced by students in solving the problem of algebraic operations. The type of this research is qualitative research with case study approach. Subjects in this study are students of grade 8D 1 Salam Magelang junior high scchool, Central Java in the semester of the year 2016/2017 academic year. Methods of data collection used include algebraic operations tests, open questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis techniques through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions. The result of the research that there are students’ difficulties in doing algebraic problems related to concept and principle. Students difficulties experienced related to the concept of difficulty in determining variables and constants including but not understanding the definitions of variables and constants, and difficulties in applying the concept of division in algebra. The difficulty experienced in terms of principle is the application of the principle of addition to the algebraic form, the reduction in algebraic form, multiplication on the algebraic form, simplifying algebraic fractions, factoring, and solving algebra-related stories.
