Abstract

The aim of this study was to know the effectiveness of learning by Problem Based Learning (PBL) assisted Mathematics Pop Up Book againts the spatial ability in grade VIII on geometry subject matter . The population of this research was students grade VIII in junior high school 1 Salatiga academic year 2013/2014, and as the sample taken from two classes randomly, one class as the experiment class (PBL assisted Mathematics Pop Up Book), and another class as the control class (expository). Data of the research is analyzed according to the purpose of the research using proportion test and equality test on similarity of two average: one party (right). The result of the research shows (1) Mathematics Pop Up Book is combination of student books and props mathematics. Pop-up book used at the stage of concept explanation and application of concepts through exercises. Overall the use of pop-up book done in groups. The result of questionnaire about Mathematics Pop Up Book is very good. (2) Test result of the spatial ability on the students in experiment class has reached classical completeness criteria. (3) The spatial ability in experiment class students is higher than control class, and (4) The percentage of students' interest towards learning mathematics in experiment class is higher than control class. In conclusion, PBL assisted Mathematics Pop Up Book is effective against the spatial ability in grade VIII on the geometry material
