The study aimed to describe the profile of problem of solving grade VIII students at MTs Al-Murahmah, based on thinking styles. The results of the research show the profile of mathematics problem solving of; 1) concrete sequential student are: a) understanding mathematics problems, that tended to organize facts, b) conducting problem solving, that tended to work algorithmically in each stage problem solving; 2) abstract sequential students are: a) understanding the problems, which had tendency to process information abstractly, b) planning problem solving, namely the ability to analyze and present fact in form of mathematics symbol, c) conducting problem solving systematically and linear pattern, 3) concrete random student are: a) tended to be consistent in using guessing strategy or trial and error in solving mathematics problem, b) tended to use formulating pattern strategy by building solving pattern according to the way of thinking; 4) abstract random student are: a) tended to use guessing strategy or trial and error in solving mathematics problem, b) tended to show the basic difference in processing information received. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
