The purpose of this study was to analyze the mathematical problem-solving ability and metacognition skills of students on the topic of geometry particularly square and rectangle materials. The subjects of this study were six students of 8th grade in a private school in Cianjur, Indonesia. The category of low-ability students includes two students, the moderate abilities include two students, and the high abilities also include two students. The method used is qualitative, with a case study approach. This qualitative research was conducted by giving 4 problem-solving test questions to students. The results of this study showed that the high abilities students occupy looking back at Polya stages; they also have good metacognition skills which are in the regulation stage. The moderate abilities students occupy the stage of carrying out a plan; Also they are been in the monitoring stage of metacognition skills. The low-abilities students occupy the stage of devising a plan; also they are in the planning stage of metacognition skills. This is caused by the level of students' ability to understand the problem, the experience of students in working on problem-solving problems, the level of difficulty of the questions, and the level of anxiety and motivation of students are different. This research has an impact on increasing the literature on problem solving skills and students' metacognition skills. © 2023 Author(s).
