This type of research is an expost facto study and was conducted at MTs Negeri 2 Kolaka using a sample of 48 students. From the results of the analysis carried out, the average problem-solving ability of students is 50.94 which if converted in table 2 then the value is in the less category. Furthermore, from the inferential analysis obtained > so that it can be concluded that there are significant differences in mathematical problem solving abilities between students with very high, high, medium and low Self Confidence.
