Computational thinking skills are essential 21st-century skills that enable thinking differently, solving real-world problems, and analyzing everyday problems from different perspectives. This skill is essential to be taught to students. The purpose of this study was to describe students' computational thinking skills in solving number pattern problems. The subjects of this study were 49 students who had studied number pattern material from SMP Muhammadiyah 9 Yogyakarta, SMP N 1 Pleret and SMP MBS Prambanan. Data were collected through tests which were then analyzed based on indicators of computational thinking ability, namely problem decomposition, pattern recognition, algorithmic thinking, abstraction, and generalization. The results showed that students' computational thinking skills in solving number pattern problems were categorized into three groups. First, the upper group who could fulfill all the indicators of computational thinking correctly were three students. Second, the middle group can fulfill 2 or 3 indicators correctly. There were 11 students in the middle group. Third, the lower group that only fulfilled one indicator correctly or did not meet the indicator at all were 33 students. © 2023 Author(s).
