This research is an attempt to describe students’ learning styles in differentiation learning. The study was conducted on all students of class X-3 at SMAN 8 Malang. Learning style is a consistent way that students have in capturing stimulus or information, how to remember, think, and solve problems. Based on the implementation of the independent curriculum, it is also necessary to map learning needs based on the learning profile of students. This mapping can be done by providing a diagnostic assessment to find out. There are various ways of information processing that students display, some are easier to process through visual information, some are auditory (sound), and others are kinesthetic (direct practice). The findings obtained from this study are that mapping different learning styles can not only improve the quality of learning in students but also help them in mastering mathematics.
