Abstract: The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has changed the order of human life, from implementing social distancing, crowding, and the habit of washing hands or using hand sanitizer. This is done to reduce the spread of the covid-19 virus, including changes in the learning system, where there is a change from face to face, to using media as a learning tool. Mathematics learning is often regarded as a difficult subject, so that when mediated learning is applied, it experiences some difficulties. In this study, researchers used several learning media such as Whatsapp groups, zoom, googlemet, and google class room (GCR), to see which media was the most appropriate to use. In the delivery of information, it is necessary to have media to convey information, the theory related in this research is the uses and gratification theory. The use of media in the gratification of information means that each individual or group will actively choose media to meet their information needs. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods with primary data collection processes through telephone interviews, and secondary data through results. literature and internet studies related to research problems. The informants taken were active students affected by the Covid19 pandemic, and took part in mathematics subjects at SMKN 2 Pengasih. This study also discusses the interaction between teachers and students in learning mathematics.

I. INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the order of human life, including in the world of learning, where face-to-face learning has turned into mediated learning. Teachers are required to be able to master technology to support the learning carried out. In this study, researchers used how to apply mediated learning in mathematics. Mathematics is an exact science, where accuracy and formulas are put forward, a student is said to master the material if he is able to solve problems in accordance with the way and accuracy in answering. Learning during the pandemic, makes teachers need to find the right and right way in the learning process, including choosing the media used.
