The journal, published in November 2024, consists of 5 articles written by authors from 2 countries;
1. Indonesia
2. Philppines
These five articles collectively shed light on both the challenges and innovations within high school mathematics education. The first study, conducted at Nias Adventist High School, identifies major obstacles faced by teachers, including limited instructional resources, low student engagement, and inadequate professional training—factors that significantly hinder effective teaching. To address student disengagement, another study developed PUME, an educational game aimed at enhancing students’ creative mathematical thinking in solid geometry, with results indicating improved conceptual understanding and enthusiasm. In a different context, an analysis of students’ errors in statistics problem-solving using Newman’s Error Theory revealed that the types of errors were influenced by students’ interest levels, underscoring the need for differentiated instruction. Complementing this, a systematic review of the Photomath application found that while the app aids in understanding mathematical procedures, excessive reliance on it may impede deeper cognitive engagement, thus requiring balanced integration under teacher supervision. Lastly, the use of digital-based learning media in teaching sequences and series demonstrated significant effectiveness in boosting both comprehension and motivation, offering visual and interactive experiences that traditional methods often lack.
