“…It means, mathematical ability is the potency to do math. Mathematical ability is a human construct which can be defined as cognitive or pragmatic, depending on the purpose of the definition [6]. Mathematical ability contains some standards such as problem solving, reasoning, communication, connections and representation [7].…”

Abstract-Curriculum 2013 appointed by the government since 2015 uses a scientific approach to the mathematics learning in the classroom. The scientific approach is used to introduce students to the variety of mathematical problem to be solved. It makes students to be familiar in reasoning to solve mathematical problem. Based on this consideration, the aim of this study is to find out students' who have high learning achievement thinking profile in solving mathematical problem based on reasoning in terms of gender. This study was conducted by using explorative qualitative method. The sample of the study were students of SMPN 13 Banjarmasin. The result of this study indicated that (1) the male subject can understand the problem, devise and implement a plan to solve a problem poorly, not look back and has a give up sprit; (2) the female subject can understand the problem, devise and implement a plan to solve a problem very well, looking back, and structure thinking perfectly.

“…In addition, not only argumentation in proving mathematical induction, but students' mathematical abilities are also needed which may have implications for both of them. Mathematical abilities are often referred to the ability when student uses to solve mathematical problems, as well as the ability to obtain, process, and save the mathematical concept (Karsenty, 2014) that give new mathematical understandings and skills for them. Nizoloman (2013) states that mathematical abilities are related to the process of using or manipulating numbers effectively in solving mathematical problems, which can help students to find various alternative solutions.…”

Argumentation and proof are two interrelated elements in mathematics, which is one of the important goals in mathematics education. Furthermore, these also need to be supported by students' mathematical abilities, so that it has implications for proving they did. This qualitative research will be explained descriptively which aims to find out senior high school students' argumentation in proving mathematical induction. This research subjects consisted of six senior high school students in Surabaya who had low, medium, and high mathematical abilities. Research data were collected through a written test about proving mathematical induction. Then, the data analysis will be carried out, including: sorting the data, presenting the data, and making conclusions. The results shows that senior high school students who have medium and high mathematical abilities can proving mathematical induction which bring up claims, evidence, and reasoning in their argumentation. Meanwhile, senior high school students who have low mathematical abilities can proving mathematical induction which only bring up claims and evidence in their argumentation.
