Abstract
The purpose of this research was to 1) study the geometric thinking of grade 8 students using inquiry-based learning with GeoGebra, 2) compare the mathematical achievements of geometric reasoning of grade 8 students after using inquiry-based learning with GeoGebra with the criterion of 70 percent, and 3) study student satisfaction after learning management. The simple group in this research was 20 grade 8 students at a school in Kalasin province who were selected based on purposive sampling. Research tools include learning management plans, geometric thinking test, mathematical achievement and satisfaction questionnaire Analyze data using basic statistics The results showed that 1) the students’ score of geometric thinking in the test after learning were higher than 60 percent of total score 2) the post-mathematical achievement on geometric reasoning of the grade 8 students who have learned from Inquiry-based learning with GeoGebra was significantly higher than the 70% at .05 level of statistical significance 3) The overall student satisfaction is high.
