This paper is a review of ten papers about the relation of metacognition and mathematical problem solving. So, the aims of this paper is to analyze the influence of metacognition in mathematical problem solving at low, average, and high students' performance. Metacognition is an important factor of mathematical problem solving. Metacognition is the ability to monitor and control our own thoughts, how we approach the problem, how we choose the strategies to find a solution, or ask ourselves about the problem, in the other word, it can be defined as think about thinking. Solving mathematics problems requires analysis of the given problem, planning the strategy to be used to solve the problem, undertaking the planned strategy and checking whether the steps that have been done are correct. Therefore, metacognition is necessary for the successful solving of mathematical problems. This paper analyzes that the higher metacognition that students have, the better mathematical problem solving that students can do. © 2018 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
