The main goal of this study is to provide a practical help to teachers who want to practice Problem-Based Learning in mathematics for establishing and realizing PBL environment. This study also produces mathematics PBL Learning Model and Criteria to Judge to help practice and to vitalize PBL in mathematics. To solve the research topics, I reviewed theoretical issues related to PBL, which became theoretical bases of this study. And then, from the theoretical background, items of criteria to judge mathematical problems in mathematics PBL are abstracted. And, through checking on content validity by experts, criteria to judge mathematical problems in mathematics PBL are completed. Also, based on previous PBL models, learning model in mathematics PBL that takes characteristics of mathematics into account is suggested through case studies by observing, a qualitative research method, on PBL study to materialize it. This research is expected to help teachers who want to practice PBL in mathematics.
