The development of digital technology demands innovation in e-module-based teaching materials, but its implementation in Indonesia still faces challenges in developing creative thinking and independent learning. This study aims to: (1) analyze the need for developing a problem-solving-based mathematics e-module, (2) develop an e-module prototype, and (3) test its effectiveness in the Independent Curriculum. A qualitative descriptive method was applied to 32 seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Godean using a creative thinking test instrument and a learning needs questionnaire, with qualitative data analysis. The results showed that 90.63% of students were interested in e-modules even though 53.13% had low creative thinking skills and 68.75% considered mathematics difficult, while also identifying the need for teaching materials that match the characteristics of the curriculum. The conclusion of the study indicates that problem-solving-based e-modules have the potential to be an innovative solution with recommendations for broader testing for comprehensive validation.
