The present situation of solid geometry in the high school, and current tendencies with respect to it, are discussed in a number of articles in the 1930 Year Book of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. W. D. Reeve of the Teachers College in Columbia University says in an article entitled "The Teaching of Geometry" : "The pressure upon the curriculum, the new subjects that are clamoring for a place in the sun, and the demands that We break with tradition — all these problems have caused educators to question the extent to which geometry should be carried. The wisdom of teaching solid geometry in particular has been seriously questioned. In fact solid geometry as a separate half-year course is rapidly becoming passé in our schools. It is not even required for entrance in some of our engineering schools and colleges, as, for example, the following statement shows":

The Middle States and Maryland Association of Teachers of Mathematics will hold its annual spring meeting on May 9, at Teachers College, New York City. At the morning session (10 A. M.) there will be a discussion of General Mathematics. Professor David Eugene Smith will speak on General Mathematics in the Junior High School; John A. Swenson will read a paper on General Mathematics in the Senior High School, and Professor R. W. Burgess, of Brown University, will discuss General Mathematics in the Junior College. At the afternoon session Professor Tomlinson Fort, of Hunter College, will conduct a conference on A One Year Course in Plane and Solid Geometry.

Achievement In Mathematics

The major aim of teaching Mathematics is to develop problem solving skill among the students. This article aims to find out the problem solving strategies and to test the students’ ability in using these strategies to solve problems. Using sample survey method, four hundred students were taken for this investigation. Students’ achievement in solving problems was tested for their Identification and Application of Problem Solving Strategies as a major finding, thirty one percent of the students’ achievement in mathematics is contributed by Identification and Application of Problem Solving Strategies.

In solid geometry needed the ability to visualize space that cannot be seen so differences in visual intelligence can trigger errors in solving geometry problems. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the types of errors made by students and the factors that cause errors in working on geometry problems based on Newman's Error Analysis (NEA) in terms of visual intelligence. This research chose the subjects of class XII high school who had studied the material distance points to lines in space with different levels of visual intelligence, namely high and low. The process of collecting data used visual intelligence test questions, geometry test questions, and interviews. The results of this study indicated that the level of students' visual intelligence affects the difference in location and the factor that causes errors in the stage of transformation especially on determining the distance in dimension 3. Students with high visual intelligence made mistakes at the stage of transformation and encoding that caused by the students’ carelessness. However, students with low visual intelligence made mistakes at the stage of comprehension, transformation, process skills, and encoding due to the concept of the point distance to the line and the concept of the Pythagorean theorem.

Learning Mathematics

Mathematics has important roles in forming the students' character at school. At least, there are nine characters' value which can be formed through learning mathematics, there are:religious, disciplined, honest, hard working, creative, curiosity, independent, communicative, and responsibility. Therefore, teachers need a means to assess those characters. Technology can be used as a means or tool in the assessment of learning, this term is referred as e-assessment. Originating from an idea for combining between assessing the attitude and using the e-assessment, the researcher developed the attitude e-assessment. The purpose of this research is to produce the attitude e-assessment in teaching Mathematics at high school. This study is a part of developing research which used 4D model as the development basis that cover define stages, design, develop, and disseminate. The result of the analysis which is conducted to the practitioners, learning evaluation expert, and instructional media expert, the product of e-assessment got 3,34 which means that it is valid. While the analysis result of users' respond which is conducted to 10 students grade X of Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Kota Batu, the e-assessment product got 3,32 which means that its valid.Based onthose tests, theattitudee-assessmentproducts in thehigh schoolmathematicsteachinghas been declaredvalidorproper.
