Cognitive is the way students communicate their thinking processes in problem-solving. In solving problems, it is not only influenced by their thinking process, but other factors can affect it, such as gender differences. One of the subjects that can demonstrate students' cognitive abilities is the topic of circles. This study aims to determine students' cognitive abilities in solving circle problems from the perspective of masculine and feminine gender. The type of this research is exploratory research with a qualitative approach. This research was conducted in the 11th grade at SMA Negeri 1 Torue. The subjects in this study consist of one male student and one female student. After determining the research subjects, they were given a circular task. In addition, interviews were conducted while the subjects completed the task. The data analysis techniques used in this study are data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study indicate that female students can solve circle problems by expressing all cognitive aspects in detail, neatly, clearly, and correctly. Meanwhile, when solving circle problems, male students express all cognitive aspects briefly and correctly.
