This research aims to analyse mathematically gifted student’s ways of thinking on fractions learning. The respondent was one mathematically gifted student of the 7 th graders in the junior high school. The research approach was qualitative. The data were collected through paper and pencil measure, observation, and interview. The data were analyzed by grounded theory with coding and constant comparison. The results showed five mathematical thinking types; those are quantification, schematization, symbolization, concretization and analogical thinking. The findings are then elaborated using some related theories to justify the results.
