The success of solving a student's problem depends also on the student's own factors that can obtain and absorb information that is influenced by learning style. This study aims to: (1) to know the description of mathematical problem-solving ability of VIII grade students with visual learning style; (2) to know the description of mathematical problem-solving ability of VIII grade students with auditorial learning style; (3) to know the description of mathematical problem-solving ability of VIII grade students with kinesthetic learning style. The research method used is exploratory research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The instruments in this study: (1) The main instrument is the researcher himself; (2) Auxiliary instruments are in the form of a learning style questionnaire with 45 statements, a mathematical problem-solving test in the form of a description test and interview guidelines. The results of the study are: (1) Students with visual learning styles can work on mathematical problem solving problems correctly and fulfill all stages of Polya problem solving; (2) Students with auditory learning styles are able to work on mathematical problem solving problems but are wrong in calculating on test questions number 1 and 2 by fulfilling 3 stages of Polya problem solving; (3) Students with kinesthetic learning styles have not been able to work on mathematical problem solving problems on test questions number 1 and 2 correctly and only fulfill 3 stages of Polya problem solving.
