The aim of this research was to explore the mathematical visualization process of Junior High School students in solving the task. This is a qualitative research which aims to explore the mathematical visualization process of Junior High School students in solving a problem-solving task. Data were collected from the written work and the interview of 18 female field independent students on mathematical visualization test consisting of contextual problem-solving task. Results showed that in the aspects of generating object, the students represented the object in the shape of three dimensions because they paid attention to the object from the side position. In the aspect of inspecting object, the students employed partition-object strategy to calculate. To make it easier to solve, the students scanned the objects in the form of two dimensions and three dimensions. Results of studying all the aspects of visualisation also suggest that mathematical visualization process does not occur hierarchically. © 2018 Universiti Putra Malaysia.
