This study aims to analyze the problems faced by fifth-grade elementary school students in mastering mathematical concepts, particularly those related to higher-order thinking skills. Students often struggle to apply mathematical knowledge in real-life contexts or in more complex problems. A structured evaluation of mathematics learning outcomes is essential to identify areas that need improvement and to design effective follow-up actions to enhance students’ higher-order thinking abilities. This research uses a descriptive approach to illustrate the level of mathematical concept mastery and the impact of follow-up actions on improving students’ thinking skills. The method involves observation, interviews, and tests that assess students’ ability to solve math problems requiring in-depth analysis. The main objective of this study is to determine the level of students’ higher-order thinking skills and the benefits of follow-up evaluation programs in mathematics learning. This research is expected to contribute to teachers and curriculum developers in designing more effective learning strategies that focus on enhancing students’ critical thinking skills.
