The purpose of the study is to describe students’ mathematical reflective thinking skills and habits of mind. The method in this study was qualitative with phenomenological approach. The data were collected by using mathematical reflective thinking written test, habits of mind scale, and interview. The subjects were two students of grade-ten of one high school in Kebumen, Central Java. The study was conducted as long as one year, especially in observing student’s habits of mind. The results show that the first student can solve all of phases of mathematical reflective thinking skill, namely reacting, elaborating, and contemplating. The other student can solve only two phases of mathematical reflective thinking skill, namely reacting and elaborating. Moreover, the first student is better than the second student in three habits of mind indicators, namely persisting, thinking and communicating with clarity and precision, and then gathering data through all senses.
