Advances in technology can used for ease in learning activities in class. One of them by using the media as a Microsoft Word 2007 Media Learning Geometry in junior high school. In Microsoft Word 2007 there were facilities manufacture a wide range of graphs, this facility can be used to create animated geometry shapes. With an exciting presentation of teaching will give the impression of interest and understanding of geometry concepts being taught.

To obtain the basic forms of geometry can be obtained from the menu Insert> Shapes. As for the color click Design> Change Colors. To resize with Format> SmartArt. For the more easy it will be in the sample material taught in junior high geometry of space, namely:
1.Polygon, and tangram

Wake-up the basic geometry can be obtained from the AutoShapes menu by clicking the Drawing Toolbar. Basic geometry can be obtained by a square, in terms of five regular, irregular or six terms in terms of eight uniform. To get the "Drawing" window open "View" then click the "Drawing". Basic geometry can be obtained from the "Basic Shapes" by pulling or "dragged" to the destination. Variations step can be done for example, after drawing up the basic geometry, you can click on it, then head to the "Format", "AutoShape", "Size", and turned up with the desired swivel angle.
2. Triangle and Quadrilateral

With Microsoft Word Master Worksheet Students can develop an electronic, for example by providing opportunities for students to draw the various forms of triangular models with various sizes on the sides and corners and how students acquire the triangle model. For example the process of obtaining a right-angled triangle isosceles above by describing a square on the paper, then make it through the diagonal.
3. Build Space

Use the "AutoShapes" from "Microsoft Word Drawing Tools" to draw different shaped geometry of space. Build regular space can be obtained by drawing up a lot of flat facet (polygon). By selecting "3D" then build a flat-shaped polygon can be converted to build the space. Then "Drawing" and set up the space to be created.

4. Volume and Surface Area

For example to determine the volume of a prism, the prism can be shown along with the picture caption, as follows: Use the "AutoShapes" to make up the basic geometry as the desired prism base ; Use the "3-D" to obtain the desired prism ; Use the "textboxes" to write descriptions of the dimensions of the prism ; Give the questions to determine the volume and surface area of ​​prisms are obtained.

5. Build Transformation Geometry

Build the base can be shifted without changing the shape and size by doing "dragged". Turnover up flat at a point can be done by clicking the up mentioned, then select the icon "Rotation" Reflection of a wake up about an axis can be done by using the "Rotate" or "Flip". Choose the "Flip Horizontal" or "Flip vertical" Dilatation of an object is enlarged or perkecilan. Dilatation can be performed with a combination of pressing the "Shift" while performing "dragged" on one end of the wake.
