Abstract:." The aim of this research is to describe the effective use of digital media in Mathematics learning at elementary level, explore the most suitable types of digital media, analyze the implementation process to foster students’ motivation, and identify the obstacles faced during its application. This research is based on the need for innovative teaching methods to deliver Mathematics materials in a more engaging, understandable, and technology-based manner. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using observation, interview, and documentation techniques for data collection. The subjects include the principal, fourth and fifth grade teachers, and students of SDN 1 Sendang Agung. This study focuses on four key research questions: (1) how effective digital media is in enhancing students' understanding of mathematical concepts, (2) what types of digital media are effective in Mathematics learning, (3) how digital media can be implemented as a concrete learning motivation, and (4) what challenges are encountered in implementing digital media as a learning innovation. The findings reveal that the use of digital tools such as laptops and projectors significantly aids teachers in explaining abstract materials in a more concrete and engaging way. Visual media and educational videos contribute to improved student comprehension and interest. The most effective forms of digital media include interactive presentations, animated content, and short educational videos aligned with Mathematics topics. The implementation process integrates digital devices with LKS (student worksheets), creating an interactive and contextual learning experience. However, some obstacles remain, such as limited equipment, technical difficulties, and the lack of teacher training in using digital media optimally.
