Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze: 1) the students metacognitive ability in mathematical problems solving, 2) difficulties experienced by studentsâ metacognitive in mathematical problem solving, 3) process of studentsâ metacognitive answer in mathematical problem solving. This research is as qualitative descriptive research aimed to describe the studentsâ metacognitive ability in mathematical problem solving with problem-based-learning model. Subject in this research is class VII in SMP Negeri 4 Bendahara Aceh Tamiang. The subjects consisted of four students; one in high-ability student, one medium-ability student, one low-ability student, and one with the most wrong answers. The data is obtained from the essay test and depth interview. While the object of ths research is the studentsâ metacognitive ability in problems solving by learning mathematics with problem based learning model on the subject of integers and fractions. based on the analysis of research data, the result that: 1) the mathematical problem solving ability of students with high category at the level of metacognitive Strategic Use, the students medium category at the level of metacognitive Aware Use, and low category at the level of metacognitive Tacit Use. 2) metacognitive difficulties experienced by students in solving mathematical problems include difficulty facts, concepts, principles, and procedures.

Summary
Educational problems have always been an interesting issue in society recently, especially for education authorities because education is considered as an essential way to keep life values. One of major issues in the field of education in Indonesia widely discussed is the low quality of education It can be seen from the low of National Examination result held every year. Many students assume that math is a complicated subject and it is even scary This can be because some factors; abstract characteristics of Math, mathematic, logic, structured, hierarchy of Math concepts, started from easiest to the most complicated concepts. Another factor that makes students feel bored and unmotivated is teaching model or method used by teachers, a conventional model used almost all of the time gives negative impact for students
