Abstract

Spatial ability is a human qualification that is relevant to high degree to our lives. Spatial ability is one principal that influence to geometry skill for students. Thus, the aim of this research is identifying student's spatial ability particularly related to geometry skill. Kind of this research is qualitative description. Technique of collecting data is test of spatial ability. This research uses method-triangulation for validating data. Meanwhile, the steps for analyzing data are data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The result of this research showed about kinds of spatial ability that there is 69,69% student with imaginary manipulation of the solid, 24,39% students with representation of the projection, 65% students with reconstruction object, 60,6% students with objective cognitive map, and 46,06% students with balance cognitive map.
