The purpose of this study to describe the mathematical problem solving ability using a model of learning cycle is better than conventional learning. The approach is quantitative research with experimental method. The population of this research is class VIII SMPN 12 Merangin. The sampling technique using simple random sampling after the population meets the requirements. The technique of collecting data through the test, with the instrument in the form of essay to measure mathematical problem solving ability in the material loop. Data analysis techniques to test the hypothesis using Independent Samples t-test with SPSS 20. From data analysis of final test on experimental class gained an average of 32.89, while the control group gained an average of 24.44. The results of hypothesis testing known value oft = 7.122 and ttable = 1.675 with α = 0.05 and df = 51. Because tcount> ttable then Ho rejected and Ha accepted. The conclusion of this analysis, mathematical problem solving ability using the model learning cycle is better than conventional learning. Based on that suggested using the model of learning cycle in mathematics particularly in the matter of the circle.
