The media of teaching geometry in Junoir High is developed as implication of effort to reach competence standard and basic competence that stated at School Based Curriculum. Today, almost all of school have used computer. The uses of computer, especially microsoft word is one of the teacher effort to take advantage source of study. Microsoft word 2007 have SmartArt Graphic feature so that user can make a graphic. We can make to dimention and three dimention picture with that. Geometry form can be found from menu “insert”, then choose submenu “shape”, then choose geometry form that you want. Basic shape of geometry available at menu “Basic shape”. To draw objects using SmartArt Graphic, click at the “insert” then click “SmartArt” so that we find a dialogue box. After that, choose layout that we want.

With that facilitate we can develop teaching gemetry media for Junior high. The specific compentence standard for junior high about geometry are:

1.      Understand relation line to line, line to angle, angle to angle, and measure it.

2.      Understand concept of rectanguler and triangle and find the measure

3.      Use pythagorean teorem to solve problem

4.      Determine elements, the part and size of circle

5.      Understand the property of cube, prism, pyramid, their part, and their measure

6.      Understand property of silinder, conic, and sphere, and determine their measure

Using of Microsoft Word 2007 software can be done easily because this software available in all of new generation computer. From the research can be conclude that:

a.       Using microsoft word 2007 is easy because this software is available in almost of new generation computer

b.      Using of this software may increase motivation and interesting in study geometry

c.       Students could use microsoft word 2007 to study geometry by individual or in group

d.      Students could investigate the concepts of geometry

e.       Students could solve the problem

f.       Students could communicate the result to the teacher and another students
