Problem solving ability is very important to be mastered by every one. Not only because most of human life will deal with problems that need to be solved, but problem solving can also increase analytical power and can help to solve problems in various other situations. problem-solving ability is also one of the main goals of learning mathematics. One solution to solve mathematical problems is the Polya's step. Polya's step is a problem-solving technique which was created by mathematician named George Polya. This literature review aims to discuss to make questions as a stimulus for students to help them carry out their polya's step in solving problems. Polya's step consists of: 1) understanding the problem; 2) devising a plan; 3) carrying out the plan; and 4) looking back. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
