It means metals that are highly reactive. It's one of the most self-evident pieces of terminology in all of chemistry.
Perhaps you were trying to ask which metals are considered "highly reactive", which is a separate question, and one that to some extent depends on your definitions, but would certainly at minimum include all the alkali metals, maybe the alkaline earth metals, and possibly a few selected others (aluminium, for example... we don't usually think of aluminium as "highly reactive" because it immediately forms a thin transparent protective layer of aluminium oxide when exposed to air, but without that layer, it is indeed pretty reactive).
