In this paper, we propose the design and implementation of Multi-media Title for the similar figure learning. The algebra problems of mathematics are usually solved by algorithm, but the diagram problems of geometry have various solution methods. This made us educate the students by memorizing the principle and property of diagram. In this paper, we applied the courseware to the students and analyzed the result. Therefore we could notice the possibilities, "f we teach students by using the courseware, we can improve their learning achievement."

In this article the definition of similarity and its introduction in Korean middle school textbooks based on the 7th national curriculum are analysed critically. As a result four suggestions are presented. First, on the consideration that the contents related with similarity has been removed in the elementary school curriculum, the meaning of 'constant rate' needs to be understood through the rich experience of drawing enlarged/reduced figures when similarity is introduced in middle school, Second, there are two different ways in enlargement/reduction of figures and in the definition of similarity. Teachers have to keep the limitations of the two ways in mind. Third, the activity of drawing similar figures in enlarged/reduced squared paper needs to be practiced. Last, on 'the relation of similarity' which is in the definition of similarity, it has to be examined whether 'similarity' should be presented in the documents of the national curriculum as a term.
