The problem is an incompatibility between goals or expectations and reality. Identifying the level of students problem solving abilities is very important. It is due to the fact that the problem solving ability is related to how students face occurring problems. Therefore this study aims to identify mathematical problem solving ability. This research was conducted on class VII students in one of the junior high schools in Kota Bandung. The material chosen in this study was a quadrilateral flat build. The results showed the percentage of achievement of problem solving indicators that the mathematical problem solving ability of junior high school students in quadrilateral material was still low with an average score of 28.41%. In addition, when students solve a given problem, they immediately use the formula and enter the numbers listed on the question without understanding which strategy should be used and not checking the validity of the results or answers. This ability can be improved by doing problem solving oriented learning and familiarizing students according to the stages of problem solving.
