Abstract

Spatial representation is important in learning geometry. Spatial representation is needed by students to communicate spatial objects to others. This research is a qualitative research. The purpose of this study is to describe the thought process in students' spatial representation. The research subjects were students of grade VIII junior high school level who were able to complete geometry assignments. The results showed that the spatial representation contained 4 components of representation, namely shape, size, position, and special attributes. The importance of this research is that spatial representation is needed to know what someone is thinking and how to communicate it with others so that others understand what is represented. © 2019, International Journal of Scientific and Technology Research.
