Accordingly, one class was ‎considered as the control group (taught by traditional and conventional method) and another ‎class as an experimental group (taught by Corel Draw). To accomplish the results of the ‎research, the quasi-experimental method with the pretest-posttest design was used between two ‎groups of control and experimental. The obtained data were analyzed with the independent-‎samples t-test and SPSS-18. The results of this study indicated that the academic achievement ‎of students, taught by the multimedia method (Corel Draw), was more than those, taught by the ‎conventional (traditional) method. Moreover, the academic achievements of students, taught by ‎the multimedia method (Corel Draw) was more than those, taught by the conventional ‎‎(traditional) method based on the learning problem-solving components, learning the concept ‎of polygons, and learning the concept of fractions. Additionally, the results showed that the ‎retention of math’s contents of students, taught by the multimedia method (Corel Draw), was ‎better than those taught by the conventional (traditional) method‎.
