Quantitative reasoning plays a key role in the problem-solving process. This skill ensures that understanding a problem will be more effective, so the problem-solving process will be more productive. This study aimed at identifying the student's quantitative reasoning in solving mathematical problems. The type of this research was explorative research with qualitative approach. The subject of this research was eighth-grade student who was male and had Field-dependent (FD) cognitive style. The main data of this research was obtained by interview technique. Time triangulation was used to generate credible data. Data were categorized from interview and task result, reduced, analysed and interpreted to make conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the quantitative reasoning of subjects in the problem-solving process focuses on quantity. During the interview process, the subject demonstrated the ability to identify and interpret quantities, determine relationships among the quantities, represent all the quantities and their interrelationships. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
