Positive impact:
According to Sara Aloraini (2012)The researcher thinks that
multimedia is one of the best educational techniques because it
addresses more than one sense simultaneously, as it addresses the
senses of sight & hearing. Multimedia programs provide different
stimuli in their presentations which include a number of elements
some of which are (Aloraini, 2005, p. 5575):
Texts,
spoken words,
sound & music,
graphics,
animations and
still pictures.
These elements were mainstreamed in a comprehensive presentation
so as to provide effective education, which in turn will support the
participation of the different senses of the learners in diverse syllabi.
(Hadmin, 2000).
Advantage of Multimedia
People of all ages love to play games that are fun and motivating. Games give
students opportunities to explore fundamental number concepts, such as the
counting sequence, one-to-one correspondence, and computation strategies.
Engaging mathematical games can also encourage students to explore number
combinations, place value, patterns, and other important mathematical concepts.
Further, they afford opportunities for students to deepen their mathematical
understanding and reasoning. Teachers should provide repeated opportunities for
students to play games, then let the mathematical ideas emerge as students
notice new patterns, relationships, and strategies. Games are an important tool
for learning in elementary school mathematics classrooms:
Games present opportunities for practice, often without the need for teachers
to provide the problems. Teachers can then observe or assess students and work
with individuals or small groups of students.
Games have the potential to allow students to develop familiarity with the
number system and with benchmark numbers (such as 10s, 100s, and 1000s)
and engage in computation practice, building a deeper understanding of
operations.
