Multimedia learning to overcome anxiety and mathematics difficulty

This article presents the benefits of multimedia learning to overcome the anxiety and mathematical difficulties experienced by seventh-grade students on the material of the lines in triangles. In previous research, it knows that students have a problem in determining the characteristic of line in the triangle by using a picture. They begin to be anxious to explain because there is an imbalance in their thought processes regarding assimilation and accommodation. In learning using multimedia, students are interested in being shown by student learning activities that fall into the very active category. Also from the results of mathematical anxiety, instruments show that students fall into the category of low numerical stress and from the results of the interview states that students feel no mathematical difficulty regarding describing the height lines, the dividing lines, and the weight lines in a triangle.
