This research describes the problem-solving process for junior high school students with Polya steps in algebraic word problems. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a test instrument. The test given is in the form of description questions on algebraic material. The subjects were three junior high school students who were taken randomly. The results of this study are that HR can carry out four stages of problem-solving in questions 1 and 2. S-RM and S-SDF can carry out a three-stage problem-solving process in item 1 and four locations in item 2. The steps that cannot be carried out in question 1 are the stage of checking again. In addition, the S-SDF carried out the wrong-solving process at the planning and problem-solving stages in problem 1.
