“…An understanding of the relationships and properties of spatial objects in geometry is needed in solving mathematical problems and problems related to spatial objects in everyday life [2], [3], [6]. But in reality, there are difficulties for students in solving spatial questions [7]. The difficulty that occurs is when students in grade VII high school solve problems that require the ability to imagine spatial objects that are viewed from a particular perspective or called the ability of spatial orientation.…”

The purpose of this study is to describe the effects of students' spatial abilities and the characteristics of students' spatial ability in completing geometry tasks through learning interventions that emphasize spatial activity. This study employs a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 33 grade VIII junior high school students. The learning process highlighting spatial activities was developed through three phases: initial investigation, prototyping, and assessment. Results show that students predominantly trusted in the physical features of spatial objects, i.e. the shape and positions also used the help of real objects as a reference for abstract concepts and took advantage of hand gestures when conducting spatial activities. Through intervention, students were trained to recognize spatial objects through their position, form, size, and the mental movement of spatial objects to determine the shape from a particular perspective. Findings further exhibit that there are relations between spatial ability and language ability. This research is relevant for teachers and students in the learning process of geometry that focuses on spatial activities, with steps of information acquisition, facilitation of spatial activity, reinforcement, and integration of information.
