The purpose of this study was to analyze junior high school students' analytical thinking in solving fraction problems based on gender. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. The subjects were two eighth-grade students, one male and one female, selected based on their comparable mathematical and communication skills. The instruments used were Analytical Thinking Test (ATT) and semi-structured interviews. Data validity used time triangulation, while data analysis involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing an in-depth description of students' analytical thinking processes in solving fraction problems using indicators of differentiation, organization, and attribution, and examining how these processes manifest across genders. The results showed that both students met all indicators of analytical thinking. However, differences were found in the characteristics of their thinking processes. Male students tended to provide concise and direct solution steps, while female students presented more detailed and structured explanations. The findings from MS and SP indicate that differences in analytical thinking lie in the processing and presentation of information rather than in the analytical thinking itself. However, these findings are limited to the study subjects and cannot be generalized without further investigation involving more participants.
