This study is research and development (R & D). A preliminary research of this R & D aims to get information about students' Mathematical Problem Solving Skills (MPSS) and learning device (known as RPP and LKPD) that the teacher used in learning. Initial observations at SMPN 1 Pariaman and SMPN 2 Pariaman show that: (1) students' MPSS is still low, (2) only a small portion of students are actively involved in the learning process and only some of the students take the learning seriously, (3) The LKPD that the teacher used in learning can’t help students in learning mathematics. Based on this, follow-up is needed in the form of R & D to develop mathematics learning devices based on problem-based learning for junior high school students.
