This research was conducted in SMP Raden Fatah Batu. The approach in this study used a qualitative approach with descriptive as the type of research where researchers conducted thorough examination and in-depth data on the process of students in solving mathematical problems comparative material. Determination of a research subject based on the advice of teacher and statistical calculation using the average value (mean) and standard deviation. The subject of the research showed nine students who are categorized high-ability students, medium, and low in each grouping students is class of religious, artistic, and academic.
