Mathematics is the queen and servant of other sciences which lays the foundation for solving problems in everyday life, so that one aspect that students must master is the ability to solve mathematical problems. However, in fact, due to the different problem-solving abilities of each student, certain factors differ, one of which is student academic procrastination. This study aims to solve mathematical problems of class VII D students of SMP Negeri 3 Purwokerto with quadrilateral material in terms of academic procrastination. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research. Sampling was done using a purposive sampling technique, where students looked into three categories, namely two students with high procrastination, two students with moderate procrastination, and two students with low procrastination.
