Mathematics is a difficult subject and even becomes a phobia, more due to

teaching conventionally in where the teaching and learning process emphasizes more on teacher,

working on problems, memorization, and speed of arithmetic, so students lack understanding of

what they are learning, which in this case does not have an understanding of the concepts taught.

Students tends to be lazy and have low motivation to study mathematics both classically and to

study independently at home (Dartani, 2020).

Students who struggle with mathematics learning, regardless of motivation, previous

instruction, or prior mathematics knowledge: 1.Display sluggish or incorrect memory of basic

math topics. 2.Answer difficulties rashly and without hesitation. 3.Mental representation of

mathematics notions is challenging. 4.Have a weak understanding of numbers; and 5.Having

trouble remembering things in their working memory.

Multimedia is a term that describing a medium as having multiple content forms or all

media used in electronics, particularly with computers. The various components of multimedia

are Text, Audio, Graphics, Video and Animation. All these components work together to

represent information in an effective and easy manner. A benefit of multimedia learning is that it

takes advantage of the brain's ability to make connections between verbal and visual

representations of content, leading to a deeper understanding, which in turn supports the transfer

of learning to other situations.

The changing role of education is currently being reinforced with the integration

multimedia technology and this has led a new paradigm in education and the evolution of

new concepts in content development and a number of innovative methods in which

information can be communicated to the learner. In conjunction with the study of usefulness

multimedia in different educational scenarios, the important point for future research is that the
time to come will surely promise the availability of multimedia technology to one and all, but

its usage should be limited to and in consideration with its pedagogical strengths, also given high

importance of multimedia from different fields of researchers backgrounds, divers

viewpoints, and varying procedural methods. Hence the multimedia community seems to be

the perfect platform for bringing all those researchers and educators with different backgrounds

together in order to help improve multimedia-based education and therefore teaching and

learning in general (Amer, 2015).

Dartani,et al.(2020) state that most of students agreed that multimedia presentation is

a good contributor to their creativity in performance tasks. With the presence of graphics,

audio and customized templates, the students absorb the lessons in a more creative manner. Their

creativity thinking skills develop as well.

Thus, the researchers will conduct this study to determine the effects of utilizing

multimedia contents to the difficulties faced by Senior High School in learning Mathematics.

Moreover, the researchers set the focus to identify the difficulties in mathematics and what

multimedia contents can help in learning Mathematics as well as the benefits of utilizing

multimedia can bring to the students.
