This study aims to examine in-depth and comprehensively the various obstacles faced by elementary school students in understanding the concept of fractions. Fractions represent one of the key components in basic mathematics education and often pose a significant challenge for many students. Through a structured literature review and in-depth analysis of empirical data, this research seeks to clearly describe the various difficulties students encounter when learning and understanding fractions. Additionally, this study investigates the underlying factors contributing to these difficulties and offers a number of creative and effective instructional strategy recommendations to help students overcome these barriers. The findings indicate that the primary challenges hindering students' understanding include several critical aspects: weak comprehension of basic fraction concepts, difficulty in representing fractions both visually and symbolically, struggles with performing arithmetic operations involving fractions, and challenges in relating fraction concepts to real-life situations. A thorough understanding of these challenges is expected to serve as a crucial foundation for improving the quality of mathematics instruction at the elementary school level.

Mathematical connection ability is a crucial competence that should be developed from the elementary level, as it helps students understand the interrelationships between mathematical concepts and their applications in daily life. This study aims to analyze the mathematical connection abilities of first-grade elementary school students in learning flat shapes. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method using cognitive and psychomotor assessment instruments. The cognitive test consisted of multiple-choice and essay questions measuring students' ability to recognize, understand, classify, and apply flat shapes. The psychomotor test involved tasks such as assembling flat shapes into meaningful objects and classifying shapes by type. The results showed that students were fairly capable of identifying and grouping flat shapes, but had difficulty explaining classification reasons or relating shapes to real-life objects. The psychomotor results also indicated that fine motor skills and the ability to make real-world connections need improvement. These findings highlight the importance of contextual learning approaches and the use of concrete media to strengthen students’ mathematical connections from an early age.

Education about ecosystems and environmental balance at the elementary school level plays a crucial role in fostering awareness and environmental care attitudes from an early age. This article examines the effectiveness of ecosystem learning through contextual and project-based learning approaches to enhance students’ understanding and awareness of the importance of maintaining environmental balance. The research method used is a literature study with a qualitative descriptive approach, where data were obtained from various recent journals and books discussing environmental education and conservation in elementary schools. The findings show that learning activities involving direct engagement such as environmental observation, planting, and waste management can strengthen conceptual understanding while building students’ environmental care character. Additionally, the teacher’s role as a facilitator is vital to the success of the learning process. Despite various challenges in implementing environmental education, integrating ecosystem content with character education provides a strong foundation for developing a young generation that is environmentally conscious and responsible for environmental preservation. These findings emphasize the importance of systematically and sustainably implementing ecosystem learning in the elementary school curriculum as a strategic effort towards environmental sustainability.

This research aims to examine the learning methods and challenges faced by several students when solving mathematics problems regarding number patterns, with an emphasis on analyzing students' thinking processes. This study employs an approach to analyze students' ways of thinking. In this study, a qualitative approach is used with a case study method on a group of junior high school students. Information was collected through observations and analysis of students' work. The findings of the research indicate that students apply various strategies in understanding the material of number patterns, which include memorizing patterns to trying to find their own formulas. However, many students face difficulties in drawing conclusions about patterns and connecting relevant mathematical concepts to everyday life. Common mistakes include errors in recognizing patterns, errors in calculations, and a lack of precision in understanding problems. Analysis of the thinking process shows that some students are still at the concrete operational thinking level, so they need visual aids and real-life examples to better understand patterns. This research emphasizes the need for an approach in teaching that can enhance students' abstract thinking abilities and requires varied practice in determining numerical pattern problems.

This article aims to understand the concept of energy sources from an early age in order to increase their awareness of energy use and conservation. However, science learning in elementary schools (SD) often faces problems in delivering complex and abstract materials. This study investigates various innovations in science learning, especially those related to energy sources. In this study, we review the literature on various creative methods for learning, including the use of game media, blended learning, and interactive game tools. The results show that the implementation of these innovations can improve students' desire to learn and their learning outcomes. Therefore, science learning at the elementary level can be assisted by the integration of technology and appropriate learning approaches.

This study aims to analyze the strategy of natural science laboratory management in improving the quality of practicums in senior high schools. This study uses a literature review approach by examining various academic sources related to laboratory management. The results of the analysis indicate that effective laboratory management includes five main strategies, namely management of equipment, materials, data, laboratory personnel training, and cost budgeting. The success of implementing this strategy depends on the implementation of supporting factors such as work safety, infrastructure quality, personnel capabilities and excellent data management systems. However, there are still many obstacles, including limited facilities and infrastructure, lack of professionals, inadequate budgets, and optimal planning and implementation of practices. Comprehensive improvements in laboratory management are expected to enable learning science to be implemented in a more optimal and sustainable manner.

Mathematics education in Indonesia still faces various challenges, one of which is students’ low conceptual understanding due to predominantly conventional teaching methods. Amid the advancement of digital technology, the MathSolver application emerges as an alternative solution to assist students in understanding mathematical material through its automatic problem-solving feature and step-by-step explanations. This study aims to examine the utilization of the MathSolver application as a mathematics learning medium using a literature review approach. Data sources were obtained from relevant journals or scientific articles published between 2018 and 2024. The review findings indicate that the use of MathSolver can enhance students' conceptual understanding, support independent learning, and increase motivation to learn mathematics. However, there is also a risk of misuse, where students may rely on the application merely to obtain answers without understanding the underlying processes. Therefore, active teacher involvement is essential to guide the wise use of such applications. In conclusion, MathSolver holds significant potential as an effective and adaptive learning tool in the digital era.
