The ability to solve mathematical problems is an important thing that must be possessed by students. The fact is that students' mathematical problem-solving abilities are still low, one of the reasons for this is low mathematic resistance. This research is a qualitative research that aims to describe students' mathematical problem solving abilities in terms of mathematical resilience and gender. This study used a purposive sampling technique with 6 research subjects in class VIII SMP Negeri 5 Tanjung Jabung Timur based on 3 categories of mathematical resilience and gender. The instrument used is a mathematical resilience questionnaire, problem solving ability test questions and a list of interviews.
