UTILIZING MATHEMATICS APPLICATIONS AND ANIMATED VIDEOS TO INCREASE STUDENT INTEREST AND UNDERSTANDING

Abstrak

Mathematics is one of the main subjects in elementary school (SD) which functions to hone students' logical, critical and systematic thinking skills. However, many elementary school students face difficulties and lack interest in studying mathematics. Several contributing factors include less interesting learning methods, abstract mathematical concepts, and minimal use of interactive learning media. The use of technology in learning, such as mathematics applications and animated videos, can be an effective solution for increasing elementary school students' interest and understanding in learning mathematics. Mathematics applications and animated videos present mathematics material in a way that is more interesting, interactive and easy for students to understand.
