The monotonous learning process and the absence of educators design interesting learning media and also do not optimize the use of instructional media so that educators deliver conventional subject matter which results in students having difficulty understanding abstract concepts. To overcome these problems, educators can use interactive mathematics learning media by using Macromedia Flash 8 for Class III students at SD Negeri 27 Sungai Sapih Padang. Based on this, the research was carried out with the title "Development of Interactive Mathematics Learning Media using Macromedia Flash 8 for Class III Students of SD Negeri 27 Sungai Sapih Padang".

This type of research is research and development (R & D). The development research model used is a 4-D model that is define, design, develop, and disseminate.
