The learning objectives of this study were to find out students’ learning achievement and satisfaction towards the use of multimedia technology (video clip and PPT) in teaching and learning mathematics in grade 5 Bhutanese classroom. A mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods was employed to gather the required data. The instruments used to gather the quantitative and qualitative data were achievement tests (pretest and posttest) and semi-structured interview respectively. The quantitative data were analyzed using Paired Sample t-test in the computer program and qualitative data were analyzed using the thematic analysis technique. The analysis of the pretest and posttest scores through Paired Sample t-test revealed a higher mean score in the posttest (14.72) than the pretest (8.81) with a mean difference of 5.91. The significance (p) value was 0.001 which indicated that the use of multimedia technology was effective in teaching and learning mathematics. Likewise, the data collected through the semi-structured interview responses revealed positive satisfaction. This study recommends that teachers may also try teaching other topics in mathematics and other subjects using multimedia technology to make their lessons interesting and engaging, thereby enhancing students’ performance.
