    The paper presents a study on students´ motivation towards learning mathematics using multimedia courseware. on the topic of Loci in Two Dimensions. An early analysis was conducted using interview and survey. The courseware used in the early analysis was based on the courseware supplied by the Ministry of Education for form two. The survey questions which were based on Instrument Material Motivation Survey (IMMS) have been distributed to investigate the weaknesses of the courseware in terms of motivation. 30 respondents from a school in Perak were involved in the study.
