Abstract
In this research, researchers will design a learning media using Hawgent dynamic mathematics software on the Pythagoras theorem based on the difficulties faced by the teachers when explaining Pythagoras theorem to the students. This research will use the ADDIE model. Based on the analysis result from the media and material expert, Hawgent dynamic mathematics software can be use to explain the basic concept of Pythagoras theorem and based on the field trial, 14 schools in Indonesia shows a positive response towards Hawgent dynamic mathematics software. The class trial also shows that students were more active and they were able to understand the concept of basic Pythagoras theorem when teacher explained the concept using Hawgent dynamic mathematics software. based on the validation result from the media expert which shows that Hawgent falls in the excellent category, the validation result from the material expert which shows that Hawgent falls in the excellent category.
