This research is a descriptive study that aims to find out the mathematical thinking process of modeling aspects of class VIII students on function material through the Model Eliciting Activities (MEAs) approach. The subjects of this study were students of class VIII-2 Palembang 37 Public Middle School, totaling 30 students. The learning process takes place by the steps in the Model Eliciting Activities (MEAs) approach. Data collection techniques used in this study were written tests consisting of 3 questions and interviews. After conducting research, the results of mathematical thinking obtained aspects of student modeling after the implementation of learning with the Model Eliciting Activities (MEAs) approach to the function material in class VIII-2 of SMP Negeri 37 Palembang is that students do more concretization and objectification processes. Students have been able to simplify a problem and make symbols to develop problem-solving strategies. However, in the process of estimation of results, students need to be trained to check back and answer from completion because there are still many students who do not do the process.
