Using Microsoft word 2007 is a good way for learning geometry in the junior high school.

Microsoft word 2007 contain SmartArt Graphic program that can help user to make a wide range of graphic both two-dimensional or three-dimensional.

The basic forms of geometry can be obtained from the menu insert and select submenu “shapes”. The forms of geometry is available in the menu “Basic Shapes”. To draw objects using SmartArt Graphic, click the menu “insert” and then click “SmartArt” . for colour selection we can click “design” and then click “change colour”.

By utilizing the various facilities in Microsot Office 2007 we can develop learning geometry in junior high school. In particular, junior High School competency standards relating to geometric capability can be described as follows :

1.       understand the relationship line to line, line with an angle, corner angle and determine its size

2.       understand the concept of a rectangle and a triangle and determine its size

3.       using Pythagoras theorem in problem solving

4.       determining element of the circle and the circle, and size

5.       understand the properties of the cube, beam, prism, pyramid and its parts, and determine its size

6.       understand “ kesebangunan bangun datar” and its use in problem solving

7.       understand the properties of tubes, cones, spheres, and determine its size
