The research aims to determine the effect of the problem posing approach to students mathematical abilities. The mathematical abilities of the students studied were the ability to think creatively and ask questions. This research is a quasi-experimental study, with pretest-posttest control group design. Data collection through interview, observation and test. The statistical test used is a simple regression test analysis and t-test. The population of this study is grade VII students from a junior high school in Cirebon in the 2018/2019 academic year. The research sample was two classes as the experimental class and the control class. The instruments used included interview sheets, observation sheets, tests of mathematical creative thinking skills and the ability to ask questions. Based on the results of the study, it is known that there is an effect of the problem posing approach to students mathematical abilities. The problem posing approach gives a greater influence on the ability to think creatively than the ability to ask questions. Mathematical abilities of students from those who applied the problem posing approach were better than the scientific approach. Through the problem posing approach students will increasingly be accustomed to asking questions and thinking creatively in solving problems
