The aim of research is to compare the effectiveness of conventional and multimedia approach in students’ achievement towards Additional Mathematics. The students’ achievement towards Additional Mathematics is compared by gender and the interaction effect between groups and gender was studied. The instrument used in this research is achievement towards Additional Mathematics Lesson Scale (ATAMLS). A quasi-experimental research design with non-equivalent control group pre-survey and post survey was used. The participants of this research are Malaysian upper secondary four science stream students. Additional Mathematics is a compulsory subject in science stream in Malaysia. This research involved a total of 64 students, which are 31 male and 33 female students. The two-way ANOVA analysis showed that the effectiveness of group on the post ATAMLS mean score was not significant. It concluded that the level of students’ achievement towards Additional Mathematics is same when experiment is done using conventional or multimedia approach. The effectiveness of achievement towards Additional Mathematics on gender was not significant. The analysis also showed that the interaction effect between group and gender in ATAMLS is not significant.
