Abstract

The objectives of this research was to construct description on student’s mathematical
cognitive ability in SMP Muhammadiyah Sumbang viewed from learning style and gender on

Test, interview and documentation were used as the data collection. The results indicated: 1)
Male and female students with visual learning style could not have knowledge of five
indicators of mathematical cognitive ability as follow: to propose presumption, to make
mathematical manipulation, to draw conclusions, to construct evidence, to give reasonable
evidence for solutions, to examine argument validity, and to find path of mathematical
indication. 2) Male and female students with auditory learning style could have knowledge
one indicator of mathematical cognitive ability as of to find path of mathematical indication.
3) Male students with kinesthetic learning style could have knowledge of one indicator of
