“…A lot of studies have proven how spatial visualisation affects students' performance in mathematics (Clement & Sarama, 2009;Pitta-Pantazi & Christou, 2010;Battista, 1990;Holzinger & Swineford, 1946;Hegarty & Waller, 2005). Studies have shown that cognitive variable of spatial visualisation seems important in learning mathematics (Ben-Chaim, et al 1985;Carment, 1989;Idris, 1998in Idris 2006.…”

“…Holzinger & Swineford (1946) claimed that spatial visualisation ability is closely related to academic achievement, particularly to success in math and geometry. Hegarty & Waller (2005) claimed that in general spatial ability together with intelligence and visual perception is required to develop mathematical thinking. Hegarty & Waller (2005) supported that spatial visualisation abilities are important for both constructing and comprehending abstract spatial representations in mathematical problem solving.…”

“…Battista (1990) indicated spatial ability (including spatial visualisation) as one of the factors that affect success in geometry and geometric problem solving. Hegarty & Waller (2005) claimed that in general spatial ability together with intelligence and visual perception is required to develop mathematical thinking. Yet the development of students' spatial visualisation ability in Indonesian curriculum is still lack of attention.…”

This research aims at studying on how students develop their spatial visualisation abilities. In this paper, one of five activities in an ongoing classroom activity is discussed. This paper documents students' learning activity in exploring the building blocks. The goal of teaching experiment is to support the development of students' spatial visualisation ability and to study about how students visualise and interpret the building blocks. The analysis of the activity is focused on exploring how the building blocks activity develop students' spatial visualisation, various way of students' interpretation and visualisation of building blocks, and how teacher affect the way students visualise and interpret the building blocks. The results of this study show that the building blocks activity supports the development of students' spatial visualisation ability.
