Mathematics is an abstract and hierarchical discipline, which often poses challenges to students’ understanding. Many students experience difficulties not solely due to the complexity of the subject matter, but rather because the instructional strategies employed are not aligned with their individual learning characteristics. The diversity of students’ learning characteristics demands adaptive and inclusive instructional approaches. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of implementing a multisensory approach in mathematics learning from the perspective of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning styles. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group design. The subjects were eighth-grade students at SMPN 27 Kerinci, consisting of 9 students in the experimental class and 8 students in the control class. The research instrument was a mathematics learning achievement test administered before and after the treatment. The results showed a significant difference between the learning outcomes of students taught using a multisensory approach and conventional learning. The average increase in learning outcomes in the experimental class was higher than in the control class, with the N-Gain value in the medium category, while the control class was in the low category. The results of the independent sample t-test showed a significance value less than 0.05, indicating that the multisensory approach was proven effective in improving mathematics learning outcomes.
