The study carried out by the researcher aims to increase the ability of students to solve problems so that they can increase through the application of the PBL learning model assisted by Google Sites. The study carried out includes classroom action research carried out through two cycles. The researcher will study subjects that include students of class VIII-D in one of the public schools in Yogyakarta City. The implementation of this study by researchers in the odd semester of 2024/2025. In it, the PBL learning model assisted by Google Sites is applied. The data collection techniques used were in the form of tests and observations. The data analysis technique used is descriptive statistics. Researchers also utilize instruments in the form of mathematical problem solving ability test questions and learning implementation observation sheets. In connection with this study, the success indicator can be measured using the improvement of students’ mathematical problem solving ability. The acquisition of the class average score on the diagnostic test scored 50.14, the problem solving ability raised an increase in class average from cycle I to cycle II scored 13.57 which in the cycle I problem solving ability test raised a score of 70.79 while in the problem solving ability test for cycle II the average value raised was 84.36. The average observation of teacher learning management in cycle I scored 2.81 (good criteria) then in cycle II it increased to 3.35 (very good criteria).
