Those things caused they were difficult to solve mathematical reasoning questions. This research was aimed at finding out: (1) the effectivness of applying metacognitive strategy towards students’ ability improvement in mathematical reasoning (2) which ability improvemement in mathematical reasoning was better between students who were taught by metacognitive strategy and conventional learning. The kind of the research is experiment. The research used The Randomized Control Group Only Design. The population was all students in the academic year 2012/2013 on Class VIII of SMP Negeri 4 Solok.
