This study aims at identifying the students’ metacognition level in solving mathematical modeling problem. Subjects of this study is eight seventh grade students in junior high school which selected based on their latest mathematics test exam score and communication ability test. The results of this study are obtained by using mathematical modeling problem test and interview. The results of this study are that students in the tacit use level is not know the reason why did they use the certain ways that they did to solve the problem, most of the time they just use ‘try and error’ method. Students in the aware use already know the reason why they use a certain ways to solve a certain problem. Students in the strategic use are capable on create their own strategy before solving the problem. Students in reflective use are not only building a plan before solving the problem, but also reflecting and evaluating during and after they obtain the result of the problem.
