<![CDATA[Mathematics learning, particularly solving word problems, remains challenging for students due to conceptual gaps and difficulties in identifying relevant information in problem situations. This study examines students’ mathematical problem-solving outcomes after using KUGA story-based geometry quizzes integrated with Wordwall as an interactive, game-based learning medium. The study employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 21 seventh-grade students from MTs Hidayatul Islam. Data were collected through pretests, posttests, and documentation. KUGA was used to provide story-based geometry quiz content, while Wordwall served as an interactive digital platform for presenting and delivering the quizzes in a game-based format. Data were analyzed through normality testing, followed by the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test and N-Gain analysis to examine changes in students’ mathematical problem-solving outcomes. The results showed an increase in the mean score from 67.14 on the pretest to 82.38 on the posttest. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test indicated a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001). The N-Gain score was 0.4536, categorized as moderate. These results indicate an improvement in students’ mathematical problem-solving outcomes following the implementation of KUGA story-based geometry quizzes integrated with Wordwall. However, because the study used a one-group pretest-posttest design without a control group, the observed improvement cannot be attributed solely to the intervention. Therefore, the findings should be interpreted as evidence of improvement following the implementation rather than definitive evidence of a causal effect.]]>
