Profil Kemampuan Spasial dalam Menyelesaikan Soal Materi Balok dan Kubus Berdasarkan Jenis Kelamin Siswa Kelas VIII SMPN 1 Genteng

Abstract

Mathematics is one part of the science in education that we learn. In studying mathematics, especially geometry, spatial abilities play an important role in it. The purpose of this study was to describe the spatial ability profile of class VIII SMPN 1 Genteng  in solving cuboid and cube theory problems for male and female students. Indicators of spatial ability are developed based on elements of spatial ability, namely spatial perception, mental rotation, and spatial visualization. The results of this study are male students with high spatial ability can master all elements of spatial ability, male students with moderate spatial ability are able to fulfill several elements of spatial ability. Female students with high spatial ability can fulfill all elements of spatial ability, female students with moderate spatial ability are able to fulfill several elements of spatial ability, female students with low spatial ability have difficulty fulfilling elements of spatial ability.
