The research was to: (1) describe the process of using the PBL model to improve critical thinking skills in mathematics learning class V at SDN Soropadan; (2) improve critical thinking skills in mathematics learning using the PBL model class V at SDN Soropadan. That research category was classroom action research with two cycles. One teacher and 28 fifth grade students of SDN Soropadan who were the research subjects. Data gathered for this research are both qualitative and quantitative, obtained through observation, interviews, and evaluation. Triangulation techniques and source triangulation methods were used in the data validity test. The data of this research was analyzed using interactive analysis. The outcomes of the study (1) the use of PBL to increase students’ critical thinking skills was successfully implemented; (2) the use of PBL model can improve critical thinking skills in mathematics learning in class V at SDN Soropadan. This was evident from the outcome of the critical thinking skills test which showed that the classical completeness of class V SDN Soropadan increased from 64% to 89%. It can be concluded that the use of PBL can help fifth grade students of SDN Soropadan in developing critical thinking skills in learning mathematics.
