The journal, published in May 2025, consists of 5 articles written by authors from 3 countries;
1. Indonesia
2. Bangladesh
3. Colombia
These five articles explore innovative strategies to enhance mathematics learning by incorporating cultural relevance, didactic tools, conceptual exploration, and game-based learning. The first study demonstrates that integrating local cultural elements into worksheets significantly improves students’ understanding of geometric transformations, affirming the value of culturally responsive teaching. The second article introduces the Musi Board as an effective didactic tool that strengthens students’ mastery of greatest common factor and least common multiple through tactile, structured learning. In a theoretical investigation, the third study revisits the Pythagorean Theorem by critically examining the length of the hypotenuse in a unit square, offering a deeper mathematical insight into foundational geometry. The fourth article presents a teaching approach that combines statistical board teaching aids with problem-based learning, effectively promoting students’ critical thinking skills. Lastly, the development of Fraction Heroes, a gamified learning application, shows promise in making the concept of fractions more accessible and engaging for junior high school students through interactive gameplay and storytelling.
