<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze learning needs and to design an initial prototype of an interactive e-module based on Discovery Learning with an orientation toward the development of students’ mathematical critical thinking skills in mathematics learning. This study employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, with the process limited to the analysis and design stages. The analysis stage was conducted through a literature review, curriculum analysis, and identification of the characteristics of mathematics learning. The results of the analysis indicate that mathematics learning requires digital teaching materials that can facilitate active student engagement, encourage the process of concept discovery, and guide students toward activities that promote mathematical critical thinking. Based on these findings, the design stage focused on developing the structure of the e-module, mapping learning materials, designing learning activities in accordance with the Discovery Learning syntax, and integrating indicators of mathematical critical thinking into each learning activity. The results of this study consist of an initial design of an interactive e-module that is systematically organized and oriented toward the needs of mathematics learning. This design is expected to serve as a foundation for further development of interactive e-modules and to provide an initial contribution to the development of digital teaching materials that support student-centered mathematics learning.]]>
