This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving social arithmetic problems based on the Polya stages and FRISCO indicators. The research subjects consisted of three students in grade VIII R-5 MTs Nurul Jadid who were purposively selected to represent the high, medium, and low ability categories out of a total of 21 students. The research method used was a descriptive qualitative approach with instruments in the form of two social arithmetic description questions and semi-structured interview guidelines. Data analysis was carried out by referring to the four stages of problem solving according to Polya (understanding the problem, planning the solution, executing the plan, and re-examination) as well as the six FRISCO critical thinking indicators (Focus, Reason, Inference, Situation, Clarity, Overview). The results of the study showed that students with high abilities were able to solve problems systematically through all stages of Polya and met almost all FRISCO indicators, especially in the aspects of Focus, Reason, and Clarity. Students with moderate ability show sufficient understanding but are inconsistent in planning and implementing solutions, and experience difficulties in the Reason, Situation, and Overview indicators. Students with low abilities experience obstacles from the early stages of understanding problems and do not show significant indicators of critical thinking. These findings indicate that the Polya stage and the FRISCO indicator can be used in a complementary manner to identify and analyze students' critical thinking skills in solving contextual math problems. The implication of this study is the need for a learning strategy that emphasizes strengthening the stages of problem solving and developing explicit critical thinking indicators in the mathematics learning process. This research also opens up opportunities for the development of more structured diagnostic instruments in measuring students' individual critical thinking skills.

Mathematics is a universal science that underlies the development of modern science and technology, and has an important role in the development of human thinking. Mathematics is a subject that is based on logical, rational, critical, and systematic thinking patterns. Religion and rationality are two perspectives that have a strong influence. Humans view religious values ​​and rational values ​​as different entities, causing a dichotomy paradigm, especially in the realm of education. In the perspective of the epistemology of science in Islam, Islam and science are complementary and interdependent entities. The mathematical approach used here does not mean that Islamic values ​​are low, but only to increase the belief of Muslims that all knowledge is valuable and can lead to true goodness and increase faith and closeness to Allah SWT.To examine how Islamic values ​​are applied in mathematics learning, To identify and develop effective strategies or methods in integrating Islamic values ​​in mathematics learning materials, To measure the extent of the application of Islamic values ​​in mathematics learning.This study uses a qualitative approach, while the type of research used by the researcher is descriptive research.Mathematics as a logical and systematic science, has a meeting point with Islamic teachings that emphasize truth, justice, and balance. For example, the concept of monotheism can be associated with the order of the universe expressed through mathematical formulas, fostering a sense of gratitude and obedience. The implementation of Islamic values ​​that are rahmatan lil 'alamin (blessing for all nature) in mathematics learning, especially to form honest and fair characters in students.

The analysis results show that the three independent variables—learning interest, learning discipline, and critical thinking skills—have a significant influence on student learning outcomes. Therefore, it can be concluded that improvements in these three aspects will positively impact student learning outcomes in the subjects studied.

This study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills in solving numeracy literacy problems by considering their mathematical dispositions. Critical thinking skills are an important competency in 21st-century learning because they play a significant role in understanding concepts, analyzing information, and solving problems with a logical and systematic approach. Numeracy literacy, as part of basic mathematical competencies, requires students not only to be able to calculate but also to understand the context and apply mathematical concepts in real life. In this context, mathematical disposition—which includes self-confidence in mathematics, persistence in solving problems, and curiosity—is seen as a factor that influences students' critical thinking skills. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with student subjects selected based on high, medium, and low mathematical disposition categories. The instruments used consisted of a numeracy literacy test and a semi-structured interview guide. Data were collected through completing a mathematical disposition questionnaire, working on numeracy literacy problems, and in-depth interviews with selected subjects. Data analysis techniques included data reduction, data presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that students with a high mathematical disposition tend to have more developed critical thinking skills. They are able to analyze problems in depth, evaluate relevant information, and draw logical and structured conclusions. Conversely, students with medium and low dispositions tend to have limited critical thinking skills, particularly in the aspects of evaluation and conclusion drawing. This finding emphasizes the importance of strengthening mathematical dispositions as an integral part of learning strategies to improve students' critical thinking skills in the context of numeracy literacy.

Mathematics is often perceived as a subject that is difficult for students to master, a notion that has been confirmed by numerous previous studies. One of the contributing factors is the limited variety of instructional media used in classrooms, which affects students' interest and comprehension. Many teachers still lack appropriate learning media to support blended learning approaches. This study aims to develop and implement multimedia-based Educational Instructional Media (EIM) that are valid, practical, and effective. The project utilizes video-based learning to deliver algebra concepts material for Grade VII students at SMPN 252 Jakarta and SMPIT Al-Qudwah. The development process follows the ADDIE model, which includes five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. During the analysis phase, both learning needs and content requirements were mapped according to SAP (System Analysis and Product). The material was then divided into seven core sections. In the design stage, the curriculum structure, system flow, and user interface were developed. The development stage involved creating instructional content based on the analysis results. The content was then uploaded to the Moodle platform and presented using the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model.

This research aims to determine whether there is a relationship between mathematics learning outcomes and physics learning outcomes by taking the subject of exponent numbers in mathematics and the subject of temperature and heat in physics. This research was conducted on class X students at SMA Negeri 6 Tangerang in the second semester. The sample was taken at simple random (cluster sampling) by taking one class from nine existing classes with a total of 30 students. The method used is a survey method with correlation techniques. The independent variable in this research is the results of learning mathematics, while the dependent variable is the results of learning physics. Before the data is analyzed, the requirements test is first carried out, namely the normality test using the Lilliefors test and the regression significance test using analysis of variance (ANOVA). From the results of the normality test for the independent variable, it was obtained that L-count = 0,08770 < 0,161 = L-table, while for the dependent variable it was obtained that L-count = 0,1108 < 0,161 L-table, so it can be concluded that the two samples were normally distributed. The results of linear regression calculations are obtained  The linearity test obtained F-count 1,067 < 2,45 = F-table so it can be concluded that the regression model is linear, meaning there is a linear relationship between the two variables. The regression significance test obtained F=count = 34,732 > 4,20 = F-table. This means that the regression model is significant. Hypothesis testing was carried out using product moment correlation analysis, then calculating the significance of the correlation using the student t-test. The results of the correlation coefficient calculation obtained r-count = 0,744 and the results of the t-student test calculation obtained t-count = 5,892, while the t-table value with a significance level of  α=0,05 and degrees of freedom (dk) = 28  was 2,05. Because t-count = 5,892 < 2,05 = t-table means Ho is rejected. So the results of this research conclude that there is a relationship between mathematics learning outcomes and physics learning outcomes. The coefficient of determination (r2) was obtained at 0,554. This means that mathematics learning outcomes contribute 55,4% to physics learning outcomes.
