| dc.description.abstract | Students with a rigor level of geometric thinking can analytically solve problems,
yet the ability may not be readily observable. Thus, an example of how students solve
problems merits explorations. Inspired by student’s problem solving, this study aimed to
examine the student’s anticipatory profile in determining Papaya tree roots' dimensions. This
qualitative research utilized tests and interview. Two tests were carried out: van Hiele
geometric level grouping test for selecting the research participants and the report-based
test for the actual project. Seventeen students took the van Hiele test, and one of them, who
achieved the rigor level, was selected for the interview. Data obtained from the interview
were then analyzed qualitatively. The study showed that students with a rigor level of
geometric thinking anticipated analytically. The subject was able to explain a geometric
problem systematically, starting from analyzing problems, clarifying detailss, to presenting
arguments clearly and precisely. The findings in this study generate useful information for
teachers who train their students to analyze a geometric problem correctly and adequately | en_US |
