Abstract
The problem identified in the research was the lack of accounting knowledge, primarily that of the aspect of skill on vocational high school students. The research was aimed at determining the amount of influence of mathematical thinking skill toward the knowledge of accounting. The above result was studied by a theory applied in the research; the three components of learning-teaching process theory from Loree [1]. The research method applied was Explanatory Survey Method, by means of testing instrument and 215 samples consisting of vocational high school students throughout Area II of Bogor. The technique of analyzing data applied was regression. The result of the research shows that mathematical thinking skill is influential toward the knowledge of accounting. The result, thus, shows that mathematical thinking skill takes positive effect on the knowledge of accounting. It is concluded from the research that the knowledge of accounting is influenced by mathematical thinking skill. Therefore, it is suggested that the enrollment of the accounting vocational school students utilize the testing instrument of mathematical thinking skill of mathematics.
