Abstract
The study aimed at investigating the levels of geometrical thinking among students receiving blended learning in Jordan. The study sample consisted of (104) students / teachers of open education systems in Jordan for the2015 -2016 academic year. In order to answer the questions of study, the researcher developed a scale of geometric thinking, it is validity and reliability has been verified. The results of the study showed a low level of geometrical thinking among students receiving blended learning. The percentage of students in the first level (visual) (51%), the percentage of students in the second level (descriptive) (15%), and the percentage of students in the third level (logical) (3%). Also it showed differences in the levels of geometric thinking between males and females in favor of males, as well as differences in the level of geometrical thinking between students from the scientific stream and students from the literary stream in favor of scientific stream. In the light of the results of the study, the researcher recommends that pre-service teachers should be trained on programs contains geometrical thinking at open learning universities.

Summary
Mathematics is considered an important tool in our life, through which a learner can provide various solutions to problems in engineering, economy, technology, arts and medicine. It is seen as being the queen as well as servant to other sciences. It is very important for curricula developers to pay a high concern to curriculum development and teaching methods as well as teachers training before and during service. In order to obtain an efficient educational output in mathematics, it is necessary to rethink the curricula, especially the geometric topics in the courses taught., where students suffer from a marked weakness in mathematics in general and geometric in particular, The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement conducted every five years for students in Jordan, it found the level of students in Jordan in the last study in 2015 is less than the world level by about 91 points [1]
