Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe the level of geometrical thinking of Vocational High School students based on Van Hielle's theory in terms of gender differences. This study used a qualitative approach involving six students of Vocational High School as research subjects consisting of three male students and three female students with different mathematical abilities. The results of this study state that there is no striking difference between the level of geometrical thinking of male and female students who are the subject of research, i.e. all are at the level of thinking one (analysis). Likewise, when viewed from different mathematical abilities, it turns out to be apparent at the level of thinking one, except for one student in the moderate mathematics ability degree who is at the level of zero thinking (visual) because this subject has a low geometry thinking ability. The ideal level of thinking for vocational high school students, the level of thinking two (Abstraction), is not reached. In addition, the lower the level of mathematical ability, the less the indicator is satisfied at the same level of thinking.
