Abstract

This qualitative research aims to describe the metacognitive skills of highly capable students in solving Polya-based mathematical story problems. The subject in this study was 1 student with high mathematical abilities based on a math ability test. The research data was obtained from math test questions and interviews. The data analysis uses indicators of metacognitive skills, which are planning, monitoring and assessment. Each indicator of metacognitive skills is connected with Polya-based problem solving steps, which are understanding the problem, planning a solution, implementing a settlement plan, and re-checking the settlement. The results showed that metacognitive skills of students with high mathematics ability to solve problems appeared in every step of solving Polya-based mathematical story problems in detail.
