  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Drawing ability is part of the spatial ability, which is a crucial ability needed in science and daily life. Students often make a mistake in identifying objects in geometry learning. Students’ difficulties in identifying objects also occur in drawing a pyramid. This study aims to design student’s activities to determine the ability of junior high school students in drawing pyramids. The approach used in this study was a qualitative approach toward 28 students. Then, the researchers also did short interviews with four students. Results from the ability of junior high school students in drawing pyramids showed that 7% of 28 students were on level 1, 21% of the students were on level 2, 21% of the students were on level 3, and 19% of the students were on level 4. Meanwhile, 32% of the students were not able to draw all types of pyramids. Thus, most of the students still faced difficulties in drawing three-dimensional pyramids.</jats:p>
