Abstract
This study aims to examine conducting in-depth studies of mathematical reasoning abilities based on gender and learning motivation. The research design used in this study is a case study and grounded theory. The researcher chose to use the case study design because the researcher wanted to explore in depth and in detail the subjects to be studied using various procedures to collect data and answer the researchers questions. Researchers use qualitative research because researchers want to explore deeply about the things that affect the occurrence of something. The procedure for the grounded theory design process is open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. The school which is the place of research is one of the junior high schools in West Bandung Regency. Determination of subjects purposively based on characteristics that bloom in each student. The results in this study are high-ability students who tend to be able to estimate answers and process solutions in solving problems, for students with moderate abilities tend to be able to use patterns and relationships to analyze
