Adaptive reasoning and productive disposition are the abilities that must be possessed by students in studying mathematics with high abstraction. Adaptive reasoning is used by students to obtain the relationship of concepts and procedures to mathematical problems. Productive disposition is a positive attitude of students in learning mathematics. In addition, in solving mathematics problems, students are also influenced by gender differences. So this study aims to describe the adaptive reasoning ability and productive disposition of students in solving problems based on gender differences. This type of research is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Subjects were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data collection techniques is giving math  test and interviews. The results showed that female subjects were able to think logically in providing explanations, justifications and reflections on the relationship between mathematical concepts, problem situations, experiences and problem situations, as well as solving strategies and problem situations, while male subjects could provide explanations and justifications for the relationship between mathematical concepts with problem situations, solving strategies and problem situations. The productive disposition ability of female subjects is different from male subjects. Male subjects do not know the usefulness of mathematics and do not believe that they are able to solve problems.
