Primary School Mathematics Curriculum aims to develop pupils' understanding of the concept ofnumbers and basic computing skills (Ministry of Education, 2001). AccordingtoZurina,M.(2005),multimediatechnologyhasreformthecurrent education system and is successfully implemented for its advantages and capabilities. In this modern era ofinformation and technology, the traditional teaching and learning although still applicable couldbeenhancedbyusingthemoderntoolssuchasmultimediatoimprovestudents' understanding and appreciation ofmathematics education in school. Pupilsareseentobemoremotivatedwhenusingmultimedia.Teachershavestatedthat multimedia enables pupilsto workat a different pace,andsome packages can betailored to thepupils'needs.Teachershavealsosuggestedthattheyregardpupilsaslearningco- operatively when multimedia is used (Slack, 1999). AccordingtoWahju,W.(2011), thefunctionof'Wayang'canbecomparedtoapicture book. It enables the children to adopt many distinct characters and to act out moods, conflicts and imaginative fictioninasafeenvironment. Moreover, thereisacloserelationbetween imagination and the ability ofthinking. The contents of the thesis is for internal user only REFERENCES Clare A.(1996).
