Abstract

A widely applied branch of mathematics is algebra as an essential part of underlying mathematics, using numbers, symbols or letters to solve problems. Based on the results of a survey conducted by researchers, we found that a difficult subject in mathematics is algebra. In line with the survey conducted by student researchers, students need a monopoly learning medium to support learning. Monopoly games have been modified as learning media capable of evoking new desires and interests and motivating students to learn. The research method used is a method of research and development (R&D) with ADDIE development research procedures where R&D research is used to develop specific products. Based on the results and research discussions it was concluded that the Monopoly Smart Games (MSG) learning medium in algebraic class VII materials can be used as an alternative medium for learning students that can be used whenever students need to. All aspects of the media can be used properly, the layout and color settings of the media are appropriate. This is in accordance with the results of validation with two expert tests, namely material expert 84.34% and media expert 93.7%. Then, the results of the students' response were 94.98%. Students claim that the media is interesting, fun and easy to understand.
