Abstract
The ability of reasoning is very important to note for being able to train students to think activity able to complete math problems.This ability also became a benchmark in determining the student achievement in mathematics, one of them is in the international TIMSS and PISA. However, the ability of competing of Indonesian students is still very low compared to other countries. This can be due to the lack of giving questions that train reasoning abilities by the teacher. Therefore, there is need for improvement in the process of learning mathematics. On the process of learning, students are given the opportunity to explore and to dig up all the potential. The teacher can give problems that are able to train and develop the ability of mathematical reasoning. Problem-based learning is is a learning-centeredissues. Problems can be relate to the real-life of students and can train the ability of skills and complete mathematical problems
