Metacognitive strategy could be apply in collaborative learning settings in wich collaboration is also one of the competencies in 21st century skills. This study aims to explain the applying of metacognitive strategy in collaborative learning setting at mathematics class by preliminary study and literature study which summarizing and analyzing the result of various study that has been done. Using metacognitive in collaborative learning will increase mathematics ability because it foster confidence and awareness of mathematics concepts and principles learned and control the thought processes carried out .The impact is the metacognitive strategies could be applied in collaborative learning settings in order to enhance student’s mathematics ability
