The Covid-19 pandemic has changed many social structures in society. This also impacts the world of education, where suddenly the learning model that is usually done in schools must be done online. This problem has an impact on student learning outcomes, especially in the field of mathematics. This study aims to examine the problems faced by students in learning during the pandemic period. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods, conducted by interviewing 15 mathematics teachers and observations made to 10 junior high school students. Based on the results of interviews with mathematics teachers, it is found that learning in online classes is very different from learning in class both in terms of student attendance, student learning outcomes, and student activities in the online learning process. Meanwhile, from the results of direct observation with students, it was found that students felt bored and did not understand the material in online classes due to a lack of time to ask questions about teaching materials and absence in online classes partly due to inadequate facilities.
