This research is motivated by the importance of metacognition skills as one of the skills that supports student to be success in solving mathematical problems. The purpose of this study describes the metacognition skills of the gifted and talented students in solving mathematical problems of Pythagorean. This research is a descriptive research with qualitative approach. The method of collecting data was using both written tests and interview. The research subjects consisted of three the gifted and talented students from 8th grade at Junior High School in Jambi based on PMA (Prior Mathematical Ability) with the high, medium, and low capability. The results showed that the gifted and talented students have been able to meet some indicators of metacognition skills. A gifted and talented student with low mathematical ability is able to meet planning indicators, but unable to meet monitoring and evaluation indicators on all problems. Gifted and talented students with medium and high mathematical ability are able to meet planning indicators, but unable to meet monitoring and evaluation indicators on some problem. But, a gifted and talented student with high mathematical ability is able to monitor and realize the mistakes quickly. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
