The role of algebra in mathematics is important because it related to other materials such as geometry, calculus, basic matrices, trigonometry, statistics, vectors, and other mathematical studies. However, students' mistakes in solving algebraic fractions are often found due to the fact that students' are lacking in understanding the algebra and arithmetic. Therefore, in this research, researchers interested in analyse some students' mistake by AVAE categories in the topic of algebraic fraction. The samples were 30 junior high school students. The data were collected by testing of simplifying algebraic fraction. The data were used to analyse the students' error using AVAE (Arithmetic, variables, algebraic expression, and equal sign) categories and eight of them were interviewed. The results showed that students have difficulty in understanding arithmetic and algebraic expressions. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
