What is the Spatial Ability Profile of Elementary School Students in Solving Geometry Problems?

Abstract

Spatial ability is included in the category of subjects that are important to master elementary school students, especially mathematics subjects. The fact that students’ level of mathematical ability, especially spatial ability, is still relatively low is inevitable. The cause of students' low mathematical ability, one of which is abstract mathematical characteristics, for example in geometry material. This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The method used in this study is the study of literature. This study aims to collect as much literature as possible to explore the study of spatial ability profiles of elementary school students with content analysis techniques. The results of this study show that students’ low spatial ability can be influenced by strategies and higher-order thinking skills.
