Literature Review: Implementation of a Differentiated Problem-Based Learning Model to Improve Mathematical Literacy
type: item
description: Mathematical literacy is an essential competence in mathematics education; however, numerous studies indicate that students’ mathematical literacy in Indonesia remains at a low to moderate level. This study aims to systematically examine the condition and challenges of students’ mathematical literacy in Indonesia, the factors contributing to low mathematical literacy in conventional instruction, the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) integrated with differentiated instruction as a learning solution, as well as the strengths and limitations of applying differentiated PBL in mathematics learning. This study employed a literature review method by analyzing 21 relevant scientific articles published between 2023 and 2025. Data were analyzed using a qualitative descriptive approach through the classification and synthesis of research findings based on four analytical focuses. The findings reveal that low mathematical literacy is characterized by students’ difficulties in understanding contextual problems, modeling mathematical situations, and interpreting solutions. The main contributing factors include teacher-centered instruction, the dominance of procedural exercises, limited real-world contexts, and the lack of accommodation for students’ diverse characteristics. The implementation of differentiated PBL has been shown to effectively improve mathematical literacy and its supporting skills, although challenges remain in terms of lesson planning, time allocation, teacher readiness, and authentic assessment.

Integrating Malay Cultural Practices into Mathematics Learning: Ethnomathematical Approaches Across Indonesia and Malaysia
type: item
description: This study is grounded in the premise that mathematical ideas are inseparable from cultural practices and that ethnomathematics can strengthen the relevance of school mathematics for learners in multicultural contexts. It addresses the persistent gap between students’ everyday cultural experiences and formal mathematics instruction in Indonesia and Malaysia, where mathematics is frequently presented as culturally neutral and decontextualized. The study aims to explore how Malay cultural heritage can be systematically integrated into mathematics learning and to identify culturally situated mathematical concepts that may support students’ conceptual understanding. Employing a qualitative ethnographic design, the researchers collected data through semi- structured interviews with teachers, students, and community members, participatory classroom observations, document analysis of instructional materials, and the examination of cultural artefacts. Data were transcribed and analyzed thematically through iterative reduction, categorization, and interpretive comparison across sites. The findings indicate that Malay architectural artefacts provide rich mathematical representations, particularly geometric forms and measurement-related concepts. Specifically, Maimoon Palace and Istana Jahar exhibit recurring structures such as rectangles, triangles, circles, semicircles, hexagons, octagons, and rhombuses, which align directly with curricular topics including perimeter, area, and volume. Overall, the study concludes that integrating Malay cultural artefacts into mathematics instruction offers a pedagogically robust and culturally responsive approach, with implications for enhancing engagement, supporting conceptual learning, and reinforcing cultural appreciation in the context of globalization

Instilling the Concept of Scale and Comparison in Elementary School Matematics Lessons
type: item
description: Mathematics instruction at the elementary school level requires meaningful conceptual understanding so that students are not only able to memorize formulas but also apply mathematical concepts in their daily lives. One topic that demands deep conceptual comprehension is the concept of ratio. However, various studies indicate that elementary school students still experience difficulties in understanding the concepts of ratio and scale. This study aims to review research findings and relevant literature related to the embedding of ratio concepts in elementary mathematics learning. The method employed is a literature review, examining scientific journals, conference proceedings, and relevant books. The results of the review show that students’ difficulties are influenced by their cognitive developmental characteristics, as they are at the concrete operational stage, by instructional practices that remain abstract, and by the limited application of contextual learning approaches. Furthermore, the teacher’s role as a facilitator and provider of scaffolding, the use of appropriate instructional strategies, and the integration of ratio concepts with real-life contexts play an important role in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding. Meaningful mathematics learning is therefore key to embedding ratio concepts in a comprehensive and sustainable manner among elementary school students.

Analysis of Factors Causing Students' Low Creative Thinking Abilities in Learning Mathematics: A Literature Review
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze and identify various previous research findings regarding factors contributing to students' low creative thinking skills. This study used a literature review method with a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were obtained from 13 previous research journals published between 2019 and 2025. The results of the study indicate that there are four main factors that play a role: cognitive, affective or psychological, environmental, and instructional factors. Cognitive factors include a lack of divergent thinking skills, flexibility, and understanding of mathematical concepts. Affective and psychological factors include low intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, self-confidence, and high levels of math anxiety that hinder students' courage to think openly and try new ideas. Environmental factors include a lack of support from teachers and peers, as well as a learning environment that does not encourage freedom of expression. Instructional factors are related to the application of learning methods that are still conventional and do not challenge students' creative thinking skills. These findings confirm that improving mathematical creative thinking skills requires a holistic approach through strengthening student motivation and self-confidence, creating a supportive learning environment, and implementing innovative learning strategies oriented towards the creative thinking process.

Analysis of Students' Learning Difficulties in Geometry and Measurement Learning at the Elementary School Level.
type: item
description: This study aims to analyse the learning difficulties experienced by primary school students in geometry and measurement. This study was conducted through a literature review of various scientific articles published in the last five years that discuss difficulties, strategies, and solutions in geometry learning at the primary school level. The results of the study show that the main difficulties experienced by students include an inability to understand abstract concepts, limited spatial abilities, and difficulties in relating two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. In addition, a poor understanding of standard units and the use of measuring instruments are also major contributing factors. External factors such as traditional teaching methods, limited visual media, and minimal use of technology exacerbate these problems. Several solutions identified as effective include the application of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach, the use of visual media such as Geoboard and Augmented Reality, and gamification and contextual learning strategies.

Analysis of Students Spatial Thinking Ability Improvement Through Story Maps Learning Using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test
type: item
description: Spatial thinking is an important skill in geography learning, but student learning outcomes often show variations influenced by learning methods and media. This study aims to analyze the improvement of students' spatial thinking skills through the use of StoryMaps media using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The study was conducted with a descriptive quantitative approach through pretest and posttest measurements on 30 students. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk test to test for normality and the Wilcoxon test to see differences in abilities before and after learning. The results of the analysis showed a Z value of -4.793 with a significance of 0.000. Since the significance value of 0.000 <0.05, it was concluded that there was a significant increase in students' spatial thinking skills after participating in StoryMaps-based learning. These findings indicate that interactive geospatial media can make a real contribution to improving students' spatial understanding. Thus, the use of StoryMaps can be an effective alternative learning media, while further evaluation needs to consider additional variables to optimize learning outcomes.

Exploring the Concept of Ethnomathematics in the Decorative Varieties of Balinese Endek Woven Cloth
type: item
description: This study aims to explore the ethnomathematical concept embedded in the decorative patterns of Balinese Endek woven fabric through an analysis of its motifs, production processes, and the mathematical meanings represented by the artisans. The research employed a qualitative ethnographic approach conducted at Endek Sekar Jepun in Denpasar. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and visual documentation of motifs and weaving processes using traditional non-machine looms (ATBM). The results show that Endek decorative patterns are composed of basic geometric shapes such as rhombuses, triangles, squares, and organic curves resembling bamboo shoots. These motifs apply mathematical concepts including symmetry, pattern repetition, proportion, and scale, which reflect order, balance, and the symbolic meanings of Balinese culture. The artisans’ weaving practices demonstrate intuitive applications of mathematical principles, serving as concrete examples of ethnomathematical practice. These findings have implications for culturally grounded mathematics education, the development of contextual learning materials, and the preservation of Balinese cultural heritage through systematic documentation of Endek motifs
