Critical thinking is one of the higher-order thinking. Higher order thinking, expected
of students. While analogical reasoning is believed to be an efficient way to solve
the problem and the construction of new mathematical knowledge. Exploratory
qualitative research facilitate conjecturing via analogical reasoning to explore
critical thinking in students. Reason: in general, the students have mastered a few
concepts that can be developed, for conjecture through analogical reasoning.
Students can construct new knowledge independently. Analysis of the construct of
knowledge and critical thinking processes, recommending to motivate students to do
the conjecture via analogical reasoning
