Abstract
The instructional media can support students with different learning styles with programs complemented by videos, animations, and audio as a stimulus that can be adapted to the needs of students. This study aims to develop a valid and practical mathematics digital-worksheets based creative problem solving for audio visual students and have a potential effect on mathematical thinking skills of students with audio-visual learning styles. The subjects were 6 students who were categorized as audio-visual learning styles from 26 students in grade 8.A at Srijaya Negara Palembang Middle School. This study uses development methods and its procedures consisting of two stages, namely preliminary study, and formative study. The preliminary stage of the study consists of the analysis and design stages, while the formative evaluation stage consists of evaluation and revision. The instruments used to collect data consisted of validation sheets, questionnaires, observations, tests, and interview guidelines. In general, the data analysis used is descriptive qualitative technique. The results of data analysis concluded that the mathematics digital- worksheets based creative problem solving were categorized as valid and practical. From the potential effect, it is obtained that the video makes it easier for students to understand the problem. Leading and demanding questions to find general forms of number patterns are a means for students to make mathematical connections and reasoning. From the results of the answers, it was also obtained that students were able to communicate problems either using pictures, mathematical expressions or in the form of verbal sentences.
