Abstract
Visualization is very important for students to remember a lot of cases the use of appropriate visual representation not cause difficulties and limitations for students in solving mathematical problems. The purpose of this study to describe the process of visualization of the students in solving mathematical geometry. The subjects were two male students of tenth grade. The research instrument consists of a test and interview guidelines. The process of data collection that provides tests about geometry in the form of contextual and interview questions based on test results. The results showed that mathematical visualization process on the subject of men, namely the fifth aspect of mathematical visualization been met in solving geometry. In the aspect of understanding, students can identify the information that is known and questioned on the matter. Aspects of connecting, students can associate the knowledge that has been owned by the problems in question. Aspects of constructing, students create a visual representation in the form of a beam, then the beam image according to the information given no explanation. Aspects of using, the students determine the formula to find the volume of the pool using the formula beam volume. Finally, an aspect of encoding is students calculate the volume of the pool by using the formula beam volume.
