The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of metaphorical thinking learning approaches on mathematical reasoning and problem solving abilities. The research method used is a quasi-experimental method. The population in this study were students of the third semester mathematics education, STKIP PGRI Lubuklinggau. The sample selection is done with saturated samples. Based on the analysis of the two-party t test data obtained the results of the study, as follows 1) in the final ability of mathematical reasoning the value of t arithmetic = 2.351 and t table = 2.06 then the value of t count is more than t table so that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, it can be concluded significant influence of the metaphorical thinking learning approach on students mathematical reasoning abilities and 2) on the final ability of mathematical problem solving t value = 2.311 and t table = 2.06 then the t value is more than t table so H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, it can be concluded there is a significant effect of the metaphorical thinking learning approach on students mathematical reasoning abilities.
