Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop mathematical visualization ability through learning activity based on Concrete Pictorial Abstract: CPA with stick and ball geometry kit on three-dimensional geometry of grade 6 students. The participants of this research were 25 grade 6 students in the second semester of the academic year 2020 of Banthachum school. This study was a classroom action research and collected qualitative data. The learning activities totally took nine hours. The research instruments were four lesson plans, worksheets, and mathematical visualization ability test. Data were analyzed by content analysis and categorized students’ answer into three aspects: drawing, identifying the type, and selecting the figure related to three-dimensional geometry. Students' answers were divided in three groups which are level 1, level 2, and level 3. The basic statistic tools used in this study were frequency and percentage. The results showed that most of students were in level 3, meaning that students can visualize and analyze the various three-dimensional geometry then represent their ideas in term of drawing, identifying the type, and selecting the figures of the contour or the base and the forward face of a three-dimensional geometry correctly.
