Abstract: The fact that teaching mathematics studies show that some students are less able to learn mathematical concepts. The use of manipulative learning media is considered to facilitate students in learning. Universities as determinants of educated graduates accommodate the achievement of graduates who have the ability according to the formulation in the IQF qualification level. The Unikama Mathematics Education Study Program develops skills in making learning media through assistance to pre-service teachers. The problems faced by pre-service teachers include the need for skills to design learning media that are fun and meaningful for students. Based on the problems of the pre-service teachers, the service provider provides a solution in the form of assistance in designing meaningful learning media for students.

Evaluation of the assistance in making manipulative media by pre-service teachers is carried out through class presentations.
