Abstract
This study aims to explain how students constantly seek that their answers were correct mathematically and plausible during their problem solving processes and the implications of these activities. The results presented here correspond to a part of mathematical problem solving processes. The subjects of this study were 4 students of grade 8, a junior high school in Bandung. Grounded Theory was used to understand data and build the models it needs. This implies the need for analysis of field rubrics and notes step by step. During this analysis, it be used the method of constant comparative analysis and memo writing. During the study, it was observed that students’ mathematical problem solving behaviour, especially deal with validating a solution of a mathematical problem. Validating a solution is a stage of mathematical problem solving processes. In most cases, students try to validate their solution of mathematical problem that it was mathematically correct and by trying to find it plausible.
