The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping many aspects of education, yet its meaningful contribution to mathematics instruction and student learning outcomes remains underexplored. Understanding how AI can enhance mathematical thinking, problem-solving, and personalized learning is critical in preparing students for future competencies. One of the challenges in learning mathematics is how to make it relevant to the times. One emerging approach was using artificial intelligence (AI) in mathematics education. Based on a literature review, this study aimed to explore and describe the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in mathematics education. The method used was a literature review with a narrative design. Literature searches were conducted through reputable international sites such as Scopus, ScienceDirect, Springer, and World Scientific, with English keywords and years from 2015 to 2025. The collected literature was thematically analyzed to identify key themes such as AI usage trends, AI development potential, and implementation challenges. The results indicated that AI was increasingly used in mathematics education, particularly in various AI-assisted instructional tasks. Further potential in AI shows promise in personalizing learning and automating tasks, though challenges remain. In conclusion, AI is promising to transform mathematics education through adaptive, individualized, and data-informed learning approaches.

Abstract

Numeracy skills are fundamental in mathematics education, yet assessment results continue to reveal areas for improvement. This study investigates the influence of psychological support, psychological well-being, classroom management, and creativity on students' numeracy skills. This study employs a quantitative research method. Data were collected through document analysis of the 2024 National Assessment Public Report for elementary schools and their equivalents. A total sample of 81,824 students was selected based on the availability of complete data on the examined variables. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling with the SEM-PLS approach. The results indicate that all independent variables positively and significantly influence students' numeracy skills, with creativity exerting the most substantial effect and a coefficient of determination of 18.1%. Additionally, psychological well-being partially mediates the relationship between psychological support and numeracy skills. Therefore, a more holistic learning approach is needed to improve numeracy skills by considering psychosocial factors and the learning environment. Theoretically, the study supports the view that numeracy development is not solely cognitive but shaped by affective and contextual dimensions. Practically, it calls for policies and teaching practices that promote psychological well-being, creativity, and supportive learning environments in schools.

Abstract

This study is based on the literature finding that problem-solving ability and adaptive reasoning ability are interconnected but have not been widely studied empirically, using AKMI model questions at the MTs level. This research aims to describe and determine the relationship between these two abilities in solving AKMI model questions at the HOTS level with a scientific context for MTs students in Kediri City. This research uses a quantitative survey approach with a population of 160 students and a sample of 129 respondents from schools participating in the 2024 AKMI program. The research instrument consists of two AKMI-model questions at the HOTS level with a scientific context, which were developed based on indicators of problem-solving ability and adaptive reasoning using PLSV material. The instrument has undergone expert validation, with Aiken's V indices of 0.8913 and 0.875, and shows high reliability based on a Cronbach's Alpha test result of 0.821. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Spearman Correlation Test. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that students' problem-solving abilities were divided into three categories: 22 students were in the low category, 79 students were in the medium category, and 28 students were in the high category. Meanwhile, the results of the Spearman correlation test showed a positive relationship between adaptive reasoning ability and problem-solving ability. This finding indicates the importance of learning strategies that can accommodate both abilities.

Abstract

Student worksheets are instructional materials designed to help learners grasp subject matter, foster interaction with teachers, and encourage active engagement in the learning process. In Islamic-based schools, the integration of religious values into instructional resources is essential to provide meaningful learning experiences that support both cognitive and moral development. However, existing mathematics worksheets often lack such integration. This study aims to design and validate mathematics worksheets on exponents and radicals that explicitly integrate Islamic values. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using Plomp’s development model, which consists of preliminary research, prototyping, and evaluation. The study, however, was limited to the prototyping and validation stages. Validation was conducted by three expert validators. The results revealed that the worksheets achieved an overall overall validity score of 90,50% from subject matter experts and 95,62% from instructional design experts, both categorized as very valid. These findings demonstrate that the integration of Islamic values into mathematics worksheets not only meets academic and design standards but also provides a meaningful approach to teaching mathematics that aligns with the spiritual and moral objectives of Islamic-based education.
