<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to show whether students' critical thinking skills through solving triangle and square problems are influenced by their prior knowledge. Twenty-five seventh grade students from Madrasah Tsanawiyah At-Taminiyah Sui Kupah participated in this study. The research method used in this study was quantitative. Instruments in the form of multiple choice questions that tested prior knowledge and essay questions that tested critical thinking were used to collect data. The data analysis technique in this research is quantitative data analysis in the form of normality test, linearity test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing using simple linear regression test. The findings of this study show that the extent to which students' prior knowledge affects their critical thinking ability varies widely. The calculated Sig value of 37.080 and R-squared value of 61.7% provide strong support for this. The findings show that students with strong background knowledge also have strong critical thinking skills, while students with less background knowledge also have poorer critical thinking skills.]]>
