<![CDATA[This research was motivated by problems occurring among Grade VIII students at SMPN 5 Bukittinggi, namely low student learning outcomes, as indicated by the percentage of students whose learning outcomes were below the Learning Achievement Criteria (KKTP), which reached 93.49%. Based on observations and interviews, it was found that teachers made limited use of instructional media in the classroom. Based on this problem, the researcher was interested in investigating the effect of using Baamboozle media on the mathematics learning outcomes of Grade VIII students at SMPN 5 Bukittinggi. The type of research used was pre-experimental research with a The Static Group Comparison Design. The population in this study consisted of all Grade VIII students at SMPN 5 Bukittinggi, totaling 214 students. The sample was selected using a simple random sampling technique. The instrument used in this study was a mathematics learning outcomes test. The data analysis technique used was the independent samples t-test. Based on the analysis of students’ learning outcomes using the t-test and SPSS software at a = 0.05, the results showed that > namely 2.73 > 2.005, with Sig. = 0.008, which was smaller than the significance level of α = 0.05, so H₀ was rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Baamboozle media had a significant effect on the mathematics learning outcomes of Grade VIII students at SMPN 5 Bukittinggi.]]>
