The role of students' attitudes (disposition) towards mathematics is an important element in solving mathematical problems and must be maximized properly. Disposition has the following indicators: self-confident, flexibility, persistent, curiosity, reflecting, apply it. This study aims to describe the elementary students' mathematical disposition profile towards problem solving abilities. The research method uses qualitative-descriptive. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews then analyzed by triangulation technique. The results show that there is a significant relationship between elementary school students' mathematical dispositions to problem solving abilities. Students who meet the "excellent" category of mathematical disposition indicators (mathematical disposition indicators score > 85%) have good problem solving skills. Furthermore, students who are categorized as "less" (mathematical disposition indicators score < 60%) have problem solving abilities that need treatment. Each indicator description is described in this article.
