This study aims to measure students’ mathematical critical thinking skills after learning by using a reflective thinking process approach. An experimental research method with a quantitative approach was used in this research. The research design used was a One-Shot Case Study with a pre-test. The population in this study was students of Junior high school in central Aceh, meanwhile the sample was students of class VII 2 of Junior high school in central Aceh with consideration of heterogeneous students’ abilities selected by purposive sampling. A mathematical critical thinking test instrument and a student’s attitude scale questionnaire were applied for the data collection of this study. The results of the research showed; (1) the improvement of students’ mathematical critical thinking skills who get learning using a reflective thinking process approach was better than learning without a reflective thinking approach; (2) the reflective thinking approach had an effect of 53.6% on increasing students’ critical thinking skills; (3) students showed a positive attitude towards learning mathematics, and also towards mathematical critical thinking questions.
