This study aims to analyze and describe student difficulties in solving mathematical abstraction thinking problems in the Mathematics Statistics subject. This research is qualitative research with the research subjects being students of the mathematics education study program at the University of Indraprasta PGRI Jakarta. The sampling technique used in this study was purposive sampling and the instruments used were documents in the form of the results of the Initial Mathematical Capability test, tests of mathematical abstraction thinking ability, observation sheets, interview guidelines, then analyzed using the triangulation technique. The results showed that for all indicators of students' mathematical abstraction thinking ability, average overall achievement and based on Initial Mathematical Capability level, on the indicator 'problem transformation into symbol form' and 'process of manipulating symbols' lower than the indicator 'making generalizations' and 'the formation of mathematical concepts related to other concepts'. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
