However, the implementation of learning is still not optimal, especially in evaluating student activities.Using online learning, lecturers have difficulty observing student activities, and mostly, online learning was done using assignments or even a teacher-centered. This research was expected to accommodate the application of online learning by the student center using the LAPS-Heuristic model. This study aims to describe student activities in the application of online learning using the Logan Avanue Problem Solving (LAPS)-Heuristic model on geometry material. This research uses a descriptive qualitative-quantitative approach. The research steps were carried out, starting from research planning, implementing the LAPS-Heuristic model online, analyzing, and evaluating activities. Student activity data were obtained from observations made by researchers and one observer. Based on the findings in the study, student activities in the application of online learning using the LAPS-Heuristic model on geometry material are described in 7 aspects. The seven aspects are visual, verbal, listening, writing, drawing, calculating / problem solving, and emotional aspects.

Three students’ works that represent each level of mathematical ability were selected for in-depth analysis. The findings shows that students’ mathematical-thinking ability in solving PISA-model mathematics-problems is determined by how the students go beyond phases of mathematical-thinkng proses (Entry, Attack, Review).
