This study aims to analyze the level of understanding of the 5th grade students with visual impairment of elementary school towards learning mathematics, especially on the flat shapes material at 10 Special Schools around Solo. This method uses a quantitative descriptive approach, with the research subjects of 15 students from 10 SLB Solo Raya. Data collection techniques used written tests and interviews. Data analysis used quantitative descriptive analysis techniques. The results of this study indicate that the understanding of visually impaired students to the learning material of flat shapes is still low. From 7 indicators of the level of understanding of students with visual impairment towards flat shapes material, the data shows that there are still many who have difficulties.
