Abstract

This research aims to test the effectiveness of multimedia usage in Google Classroom as well as to attract students' interest in solving mathematical problems in sentence form on Progression. The samples of this study consisted of 42 Form 4 students taking Additional Mathematics at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Datuk Abdullah, Kota, Negeri Sembilan. This was a quantitative study using the pre-experimental design whereby only one group of samples was studied. The t-paired sample test was used to observe the existence of significant differences between the mean scores of the pre-test and post-test which was analyzed using version 24 of the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The second instrument for this research was a questionnaire form where the responses were analyzed using SPSS as well. The analysis on the pre-test and post-test scores showed that there was an increase in students’ achievements in the topic of Progressions after the treatment. Furthermore, based on the analysis of the questionnaire, it was found that students' attitudes and interests towards learning the topic of Progression had improved with the use of multimedia technology through Google classroom.
