This study aimed to describe the relational thinking of male and female visual students in solving mathematical problems. The method used is descriptive analysis. Subjects in this study were 1 male student and 1 female student who had visual learning style. The instruments consists a learning style questionnaires, test questions and interview guidelines. The results showed that visual male students who were able to see equal to (=) as relation symbol, could focus on the expression structure and could provide rationality the problem solving strategy. However, male visual students have not been able to focus on structure because students make computational errors.
